Installing the Cooling Shroud

1 Align the shroud using the center of the numbered fan bays as a guide.
2 Press the cooling shroud down into the chassis.
3 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 89.
4 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on,

including any attached peripherals.

Hard Drives

Your system supports 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch (SAS or SATA) hard drives in
3.5-inch hot-swap hard drive carrier or cabled internal drives. Depending
on your chassis, the hard drives are installed internally or at the front of the
system (see Figure 3-1). Front-mounted hard drives are connected to a SAS
backplane through hard-drive carriers and can be configured as hot-
swappable.

NOTE:

Systems with cabled hard drives support up to four 3.5-inch SAS or

SATA hard drives.

Removing a Hard-Drive Blank

CAUTION:

To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must

have drive blanks installed.

NOTE:

This section is applicable to systems with hot-swappable hard drives only.

1 Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 86.
2 Grasp the front of the hard-drive blank, press the release lever on

the right side, and slide the blank out until it is free of the drive bay.
See Figure 3-7.
