3 If you are installing a blade in one of the eight upper bays, align the guide
rail on the upper edge of the blade so that the rail fits between the plastic
guides on the enclosure.
If you are installing a half-height blade in one of the eight lower bays, align
the edge of the blade with the guide rail on the floor of the M1000e
enclosure.
If you are installing a full-height blade in bays 1 or 2 or a half-height blade
in bays 12 or 13, rotate the LCD module to the horizontal storage position
to prevent accidental damage to the LCD screen.

blade in place.
