CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.

LEDs" on page 78).
2. Back up all server data on the hard drive.

IMPORTANT: When installing a x3/x1 SAS cable in a SFF system, HP recommends that the x3
part of the x3/x1 cable be linked to the SAS hard drive backplane connector that corresponds to
hard drive slots 1 to 4. In this setup, hard drive slot 1 will not be available, but since hard drive
slots 2 to 4 will be connected, one continuous volume can be created. All drive slots will be
available in LFF systems.
