HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure Quick Setup Instructions

If the empty bays are configured for a full-height device, join two

device bay blanks to create a full-height blank.

Installing the rear components

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal

damage, do not operate the enclosure unless all bays are

populated with a component or a blank.

1. Slide the fan into the enclosure until it locks in place.

NOTE: The HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure ships with

four HP Active Cool 100 fans and supports up to six fans.

Install fans based on the number of storage or server

blades installed:

• For one to four half-height storage or server blades or

one to two full-height storage or server blades, install

four fans in bays 2, 4, 5, and 6.

• For additional storage or server blades, install six fans

using all bays.

NOTE: You cannot install HP Active Cool 100 fans and

HP Active Cool 200 fans in the same enclosure. The

Onboard Administrator sends an error message, and you

must remove the type of fan with the least number of units

installed.

NOTE:

When installing a fan in the top row of fan bays,

orient the fan so that the LED is in the lower right corner.

When installing a fan in the bottom row of fan bays, orient

the fan so the LED is in the upper left corner.

2. (Optional) Slide the c3000 KVM module into the bay. When fully

inserted, the device locks into place.

3. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay until the device

locks into place.
