Installing the Server Enclosure into the Rack

WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.

CAUTION: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays in the enclosure must be populated at all times with either a sled or with a sled blank.

CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive slots must have hard-drive blanks installed.
