Figure 2-4: Removing a hard drive blank
CAUTION: Always populate hard drive bays with either a hot-plug SCSI hard drive or hard
drive blank. Operating the server blade without a hot-plug SCSI hard drive or hard drive blank
results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
To replace the hard drive blank, slide the blank into the bay until it locks into place. The hard
drive blank is keyed to fit only one way.
