Installation Instructions
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
• HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport)
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.
1. Remove the device bay blank.
2. Remove the three adjacent blanks.
