For proper thermal cooling, install blanks in all bays that do not have a drive installed. Order a sufficient
number of 6.35-cm (2.5-in) or 8.89-cm (3.5-in) hard drive blank option kits from an HP authorized

reseller. For more information, see the server maintenance and service guide.

The standard SATA driver is included with supported operating systems. No additional driver is
