Install the server blade

CAUTION:

To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server blade or the enclosure unless all device bays are populated with either a component or a blank.

CAUTION:

Failure to install the divider in a quadrant when installing half-height blades can result in damage to the connectors on the server blade.

For the best possible BladeSystem and Virtual Connect experience, and to prevent a future reboot, Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires updating the Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect to the correct version before installing an HPE ProLiant Gen10 server blade. The version information is on the tag on the front of the server blade.

For more information on this and other specific firmware and driver requirements, as well as the latest firmware and driver versions, download the latest SPP from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download).
