Before performing any server blade-specific procedures, install an
HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
The most current documentation for server blades and other
HP BladeSystem components is available at the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).

Preparing the enclosure
HP BladeSystem enclosures ship with device bay dividers to support
half-height devices. To install a full-height device, remove the blanks
and the corresponding device bay divider.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal
damage, do not operate the server blade or the enclosure
unless all hard drive and device bays are populated with
either a component or a blank.
