Install the Data Drives in the Blades
The blades in the nTier700 are numbered consecutively from left to right
when viewed from the front, beginning with Blade 1 at the furthest left. For
each fully-populated blade in the nTier700, two rows of five drives are
mounted in slots along the length of the blade.
Unlock the Blades
For security, the blades in the nTier700 appliance are locked, even when the
power is turned off. An internal latch lets you manually unlock the blades
without powering on the unit.
1. Push inward on each blade to make sure it is fully seated in its bay.
2. Angle a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the opening in the bottom of the
chassis management module and slide it in as far as it will go.
3. With the screwdriver still in place, pull outward on the chassis
management module until you feel it disengage from its internal
connector.
Note: You may need to push down slightly on the screwdriver to lift
the latch. The internal latch shown in Figure 2 is not visible until
you pull the chassis management module out of the chassis.
4. All of the blades are now unlocked.
5. Remove the screwdriver from the chassis management module.
6. Leave the chassis management module extended.
