5. Gently press down on the DIMM until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all
modules (see Table 3-1 for installing DIMMs into the slots in the correct order).
6. Replace the air shroud and the blade cover and install the blade module back into
the enclosure.
7. Power up the blade unit.
USB Memory Stick Installation
All newer blades (at this time the SBX-####A-A# blade only) have a provision for a Type
A connector that will allow a USB memory stick to be placed on the blade. This is used
to support ESX VMware, a custom BIOS extension (such as ScaleMP), or as a
read-only bootable operating system that will allow the system to save power by
eliminating mirrored drives for a reliable operating system.
3-6 Hard Disk Drive Installation
Hard disk drives are installed in “carriers” which are hot-swappable and can be removed
or replaced without powering down the blade unit they reside in. A blade module needs
a hard disk drive with an operating system installed to operate.
WARNING: To maintain proper airflow, both hard drive bays must have drive
carriers inserted during operation whether or not a drive is installed in the carrier.
