Installing the Cooling Shroud

1 Align the shroud using the center of the numbered fan bays as a guide.
2 Press the cooling shroud down into the chassis.
3 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 71.
4 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on,

including any attached peripherals.

Hard Drives

Your system supports 3.5-inch (SAS or SATA) hard drives in 3.5-inch hot-
swap hard drive carrier. The hard drives are installed at the front of the system
(see Figure 3-1). Front-mounted hard drives are connected to a SAS
backplane through hard-drive carriers and can be configured as hot-
swappable.

Removing a Hard-Drive Blank

CAUTION:

To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must

have drive blanks installed.

NOTE:

This section is applicable to systems with hot-swappable hard drives only.

1 If applicable, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on

page 69.

2 Grasp the front of the hard-drive blank, press the release lever on

the right side, and slide the blank out until it is free of the drive bay.
See Figure 3-5.
