6. Place the drive into the tray and push it, from the rear edge of the drive, into the connector until
the drive moves past the lever at the back of the tray. The drive clicks into place.
7. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to “Completing the
installation” on page 43.
Removing a SCSI hard disk drive
To remove the SCSI hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page “Safety” on page vii and “Installation
guidelines” on page 19.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the
SBCE unit (see “Installing and removing the blade server from the SBCE unit” on page 20 for
instructions).
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4. Open the blade server cover (see “Opening the blade server cover” on page 20 for instructions).
5. Locate SCSI connector 1 and slowly pull the blue lever at the back of the hard disk drive tray to
disengage the drive from its tray.
6. From the rear edge of the drive, slide the drive out of the SCSI connector.
Attention:
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the system unit without either a
blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade installed in each blade bay for more than 1 minute.
Installing memory modules
The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the blade
server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs:
•
The system board contains four DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory interleaving.
•
The DIMM options that are available for your blade server are 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and
2 GB. Your blade server supports a minimum of 256 MB and a maximum of 8 GB of system
memory.
•
Your blade server comes with two DIMMs in the DIMM 1 (J113) and DIMM 2 (J111) memory
connectors.
When you install additional DIMMs, be sure to install them as a pair, in DIMM connectors
3 (J112) and 4 (J110).
Install the DIMMs in the following order:
Pair
DIMM connectors
First
1 (J113) and 2 (J111)
Second
3 (J112) and 4 (J110)
