Front view of the BladeCenter S chassis

Blade servers, disk storage modules, and the media tray are installed in the front of the BladeCenter S chassis.

Note
For proper cooling, each bay in the BladeCenter S chassis must have either a device or a filler installed.

As the BladeCenter S chassis can support either 3.5-inch disk drives or 2.5-inch disk drives in the storage bays, the front view of the chassis can appear as either of the following.
