When installing a companion blade (HP StorageWorks SB40c Storage Blade, HP PCI Expansion Blade, or HP StorageWorks Ultrium 448c Tape Blade), the companion blade can be installed in either of the paired device bays (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8) with a half-height server blade installed in the other paired device bay.

To install a companion blade with a full-height server blade, the companion blade must be installed in device bay 8 with the full-height server blade installed in device bay 3/7. The half-height divider must be installed between device bays 4 and 8, and either a blade blank or a half-height server blade can be installed in device bay 4.
