Installing an HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure

Before performing any server blade-specific procedures, install an HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
The most current documentation for server blades and other HP BladeSystem components is available at the
HP website (

http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation

Documentation is also available in the following locations:

•

Documentation CD that ships with the enclosure

•

Preparing the enclosure

HP BladeSystem enclosures ship with device bay dividers to support half-height devices. To install a full-height
device, remove the blanks and the corresponding device bay divider.

CAUTION:

To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server blade

or the enclosure unless all drive and device bays are populated with either a component or a
blank.

IMPORTANT:

For optimal cooling and system performance, configure the c7000 enclosure with

ten fans and configure the c3000 enclosure with six fans.

Remove the device bay blank.

Remove the three adjacent blanks.
