Setting Up Your Storage and I/O Blade
3-3
INSTALLING THE STORAGE AND I/O BLADE
Install the Storage and I/O Blade in the dedicated Blade Enclosure. The slot to install the Storage
and I/O Blade must be the one adjacent to the CPU blade to which the Storage and I/O Blade is to
be connected. See "Installation Order" described later in this chapter for how to install the Storage
and I/O Blade in the slot.
Refer to the User's Guide of Blade Enclosure for how to install the Blade Enclosure.
IMPORTANT: The Storage and I/O Blade is extremely sensitive to
static electricity. Make sure to touch the metal frame of the Storage and
I/O Blade to discharge static electricity from your body before handling
the Storage and I/O Blade. Do not touch the pins, leads, or circuitry and
place the Storage and I/O Blade directly on the desk. For static notes,
see "Anti-static Measures" in Chapter 9.
