2.If you have not done so already, install any options that you want, such as SCSI drives or memory, in the blade server.
3.Select the bay for the blade server.
Notes:
a.If the blade server has an expansion unit installed on it, the blade server and expansion option require two adjacent bays.
b.When any blade server or option is in either blade bay 7 through 14 in the SBCE unit, power modules must be present in all four power bays.
c.To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make sure that each of the blade bays on the front of the SBCE unit has a blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade installed. 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 for the SBCE unit.
4.Make sure that the release levers on the blade server are in the open position (perpendicular to the blade server).
