Install the Data Drives in the Blades

The blades in the nTier700 are numbered consecutively from left to right when viewed from the front, beginning with Blade 1 at the furthest left. For each fully-populated blade in the nTier700, two rows of five drives are mounted in slots along the length of the blade.
