Disk drive blanks
The server blade has two disk drive bays. If you only purchased one hard disk, then your server blade has a hard drive blank installed. Hard drive blanks maintain proper airflow throughout the server blade.
CAUTION: Populate hard drive bays with a disk drive or a disk drive blank. Operating the server blade without a disk drive or disk drive blank causes improper airflow and cooling, which can lead to thermal damage.
Removing a disk drive blank
Remove the component as indicated:
To replace the hard drive blank, slide the blank into the bay until it locks into place. The hard drive blank is keyed to fit only one way.
Disk drives
