Installation guidelines
When installing the storage blade, observe the following guidelines:
• Install hard drives in the storage blade before installing the storage blade in the enclosure.
• Be sure that the partner server blade is powered down before installing the storage blade.
Onboard Administrator is used to configure the enclosure and the storage blade. To function with the storage
blade, Onboard Administrator version 3.10 or later is required.
Additional guidelines for installation with a half-height partner
server blade
When installing the storage blade with a half-height server blade, observe the following additional
guidelines:
• Install the storage blade in any device bay.
• If the storage blade is installed in an odd-numbered bay, install the partner server blade in the adjacent
even-numbered bay to the right.
• If the storage blade is installed in an even-numbered bay, install the partner server blade in the adjacent
odd-numbered bay to the left.
Additional guidelines for installation with a full-height partner
server blade
When installing the storage blade with a full-height server blade, observe the following additional
guidelines:
• Remove the device bay shelf.
• Install a PCI-Express mezzanine card into the server. For server-specific information, see the storage
blade QuickSpecs.
• Install the half-height blade shelf on the storage blade.
• Install the storage blade in any device bay on the lower row of the enclosure (9 through 16).
If installing two storage blades with one partner server blade, install the second storage blade in the
bay directly above the first one.
If installing two storage blades with one partner server blade in an HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure,
use the mini divider instead of the half-height blade shelf. For more information, see the HP BladeSystem
c3000 Enclosure Quick Setup Instructions.
• If the storage blade is installed in an odd-numbered bay, install the partner server blade in the adjacent
even-numbered bay to the right.
• If the storage blade is installed in an even-numbered bay, install the partner server blade in the adjacent
odd-numbered bay to the left.
• When installing the storage blade with a full-height server blade, a half-height server blade can be
installed in the empty bay above the storage blade. This server blade cannot be partnered with the
storage blade.
