For proper thermal cooling, install blanks in all bays that do not have a drive installed. Order a sufficient 
number of 6.35-cm (2.5-in) or 8.89-cm (3.5-in) hard drive blank option kits from an HP authorized 
reseller. For more information, see the server maintenance and service guide. 
•  The standard SATA driver is included with supported operating systems. No additional driver is 
required.
