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 89.

Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on,
including any attached peripherals.
Hard Drives
Your system supports 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch (SAS or SATA) hard drives in
3.5-inch hot-swap hard drive carrier or cabled internal drives. Depending
on your chassis, the hard drives are installed internally or 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.
NOTE: Systems with cabled hard drives support up to four 3.5-inch SAS or
SATA hard drives.
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 Remove the front bezel. See
"Removing the Front Bezel" on page 86.
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 3-7.
