2 For congurations with mid drive tray, if you are removing the memory module permanently, install a memory module blank. The
procedure to install a memory module blank is similar to that of the memory module.
NOTE
: For single processor systems, install processor/DIMM blank on CPU2 socket.
NOTE: To ensure proper cooling, DIMM blank must be installed for systems with mid drive tray conguration.
