Installing and Removing a Blade Server

There are two types of blade server supported, half-width and full-width. Their installation is similar but with important differences. For details, see the Blade Server Installation and Service Note for the type of blade server you are using. The server notes are available at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ products/ps10280/prod_installation_guides_list.html

Installing and Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive

You can remove blade server hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis. All other component replacement for a blade server requires removing the blade from the chassis. Unused hard drive bays should always be covered with cover plates (N20-BBLKD) to assure proper cooling and ventilation. The chassis is omitted from illustrations here to simplify the drawing.
