Using USB diskette or USB DVD or CD drives
The blade has USB ports on the front which allows you to connect a USB diskette drive, USB flash drive, USB DVD or CD drive,
keyboard, or mouse. The USBdrives can be used to configure the blade.
To designate the USB diskette drive as the boot drive:

12
1. connect the USB drive
2. restart the system
3. enter the System Setup
4. set the drive as first in the boot sequence
The USB device is displayed in the boot order setup screen only if it is attached to the system before you run the System Setup. You
can also select the boot device bypressing F11 during system start-up and selecting aboot device for the current boot sequence.
Hard drive or SSD indicator patterns
The hard drive or SSD (Solid-State Drives) indicators display different patterns as drive events occur in the system.
NOTE: The blade must have a hard drive or SSD or a hard drive blank installed in each drive bay.

Locating Service Tag of your system
Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number. The Express Service Code and Service Tag are
found on the front of the system by pulling out the information tag. Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the c hass is
of the system. This information isused by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.

Continuous operation 5°C to 40°C at 5% to 85% RH with 29°C dew point.
NOTE:Outsidethestandardoperatingtemperature
(10°C to 35°C), the system can operate continuously in
temperatures as low as 5°C and as high as 45°C.
For temperatures between 35°C and 40°C, derate maximum
allowable temperature by 1°C per 175 m above 950 m (1°F per
319 ft).
< 1% of annual operating hours –5°C to 45°C at 5% to 90% RH with 29°C dew point.
