Notes:
a. Depending on the blade-server type and the optional devices that are
installed in it, two or more adjacent bays might be required.
b. When any blade server or device is in blade bays 8 through 14, power
modules must be present in all four power bays.
2. Remove the filler from the bay, if one is installed.
Attention: To help ensure proper cooling, performance and system reliability,
do not operate the BladeCenter unit for more than 1 minute without either a
blade server or a blade filler installed in each blade bay.

comes with the blade server for instructions.
7. If this is a new blade server, write identifying information on one of the user
labels that come with the blade server; then, place the label on the BladeCenter
unit top bezel just above the blade server.
Important: Do not place the label on the blade server or in any way block the
ventilation holes on the BladeCenter unit bezel.
