Your system includes up to four quarter-height blades installed in a sleeve. To function as a system, the sleeve is inserted into an M1000e enclosure (chassis).

  • CAUTION: Exercise care while handling the sleeve to prevent damage to the internal components.
  • NOTE: To ensure proper operation and cooling, all blade slots in the sleeve must be populated at all times with either a blade or quarter-height blade blank(s).
  • NOTE: For complete instructions on operating the quarter-height blades, see the M1000e Enclosure Owner's Manual and the CMC User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
