HP Cluster Platform Server and Workstation Overview

4.2.2 Supported Storage
The HP ProLiant BL35p supports up to up to two 60 GB parallel ATA hard disk drives. The drive
cage assembly lower drive bay is designated as the primary hard drive. The physical aspect of
inserting and removing a disk drive is discussed in the document that ships with the drive and
in the HP ProLiant BL35p Server Blade User Guide.
In addition to the hard drives, the HP ProLiant BL35p has SAN storage capability. It can be
configured for SAN connectivity when used with the following components:
• Fibre Channel adapter
• SAN-compatible interconnect
• SFP transceivers (included with the Dual Port FC Adapter)
• Optical FC cables
• Supported SAN and associated software

4.2.3 Removing the HP ProLiant BL35p from the Sleeve
To remove an HP ProLiant BL35p from the HP BladeSystem p-Class sleeve in the blade enclosure,
follow these steps:
• Back up all server blade data.
• Power down the server blade, using one of the following methods:
— Press the Power On/Standby button on the server blade front panel. Be sure that the
server blade is in Standby mode by observing that the power LED is amber. This process
may take 30 seconds, during which time some internal circuitry remains active.
— Use the virtual power button feature in the iLO Remote Console to power down the
server blade from a remote location. After initiating a manual or virtual power down
command, be sure that the server blade goes into Standby mode by observing that the
power LED is amber.
Important:
When the server blade is in Standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided. To
remove all power from the server blade, remove the server blade from the server blade
enclosure. Removing the sleeve from the server blade enclosure is not necessary.
Important:
Remote power procedures require the most recent firmware for the power enclosure
and server blade enclosure management modules.
• Remove the server blade from the sleeve, as shown in Figure 4-3.
