Power down the partner server blade
In systems that use the storage blade as external data storage, be sure that the partner server blade is the first
unit to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system
and the OS are shut down in an orderly manner.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the storage blade.
To power down the storage blade, power down the partner server blade. See the server blade
documentation.
Power up the storage blade
Observe the following guidelines before powering up the storage blade:
• Be sure that a hard drive is installed in the first hard drive bay. The partner server blade identifies and
configures any installed hard drives during power up. For more information, see "Hard drives (on page
18)."
• Be sure that hard drives or hard drive blanks are installed in the second and third hard drive bays. To
prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, the first three hard drive bays must be populated.
• Be sure that the partner server blade is powered down.
• Be sure that the storage blade is installed as shown in the installation guidelines (on page 14).
To power up the storage blade:
1. Install the storage blade. The system health LED flashes amber.

Hard drive guidelines
When adding hard drives to the storage blade, observe the following general guidelines:
• The storage blade supports standard small form factor hot plug carriers only.
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in hard drive bay 1 ("SAS and SATA hard drive bay numbers"
on page 7).
• Hard drives must be hot-plug, SFF types.
• Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
Installing a hard drive
This procedure describes first-time installation only.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the storage blade
or the enclosure unless the first drive bay is populated with a drive, and drive bays 2 and 3 and

4. Install the hard drive.
5. Install the storage blade in the enclosure.
6. Power up the partner server blade. See the server blade documentation.
7. Determine the status of the drive from the hot-plug SAS or SATA drive LED combinations ("SAS and
SATA hard drive LED combinations" on page 7).
8. Configure the storage blade ("Configuration tools" on page 23).
Flash-backed write cache (FBWC) option
FBWC consists of a cache module and a capacitor pack. The DDR cache module buffers and stores data
being written by the controller. When the system is powered on, the capacitor pack charges fully in about 5
minutes. In the event of a system power failure, a fully charged capacitor pack provides power for up to 80
seconds. During that interval, the controller transfers the cached data from DDR memory to flash memory,
where the data remains indefinitely or until a controller retrieves the data.
