Additional guidelines for installation with a half-height partner
server blade
When installing the D2220sb with a half-height server blade, observe the following additional guidelines:
•
Install the D2220sb in any device bay.
•
If the D2220sb is installed in an odd-numbered bay, install the partner server blade in the adjacent
even-numbered bay to the right.
•
If the D2220sb 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 D2220sb with a full-height server blade, observe the following additional guidelines:
•
Remove the device bay shelf.
CAUTION:
Failure to install the divider in a quadrant when installing half-height blades can
result in damage to the connectors on the server blades.
•
Install the half-height blade shelf on the D2220sb.
•
Install the D2220sb in any device bay on the lower row of the enclosure (9 through 16).
If installing two D2220sb storage blades with one full-height partner server blade, install the second
D2220sb in the bay directly above the first one. The top D2220sb does not require a half-height blade
shelf.
If installing two D2220sb 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.
