After you install the SCSI storage expansion unit on the blade server, the bladeserver and expansion unit become a single unit that occupies two blade bays inthe BladeCenter unit.2. To ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that each of theSCSI hard disk drive bays on the SCSI storage expansion unit contains either ahot-swap SCSI hard disk drive or a filler panel.For a list of SCSI hard disk drives supported by the blade server, go to theServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/.Figure 25 on page 47 shows how to install the SCSI storage expansion unit on theblade server.46 BladeCenter HS20 Type 8832: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
