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

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.
