WARNING:
Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To
avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.

To ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays in the enclosure must
be populated at all times with either a sled or with a sled blank.
CAUTION:
To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive slots must
have hard-drive blanks installed.
