4. At the front of the enclosure, do one of the following steps:
• For 2U enclosures, insert one Torx M5 (long) screw into the mounting hole on each side
to secure the enclosure to the rack. Tighten the screws to a torque level of 13 in-lbs.
• For 4U enclosures, insert two Torx M5 (long) screws into the mounting holes on each side
to secure the enclosure to the rack (on each side, one screw goes into the rail and the
other to the cage nut). Tighten the screws to a torque level of 13 in-lbs.
5. At the rear of the enclosure, tighten the two M5 Torx (short) screws on the sides of the enclosure.
Tighten the screws to a torque level of 13 in-lbs. See Figure 22 (page 39).

NOTE: Due to limited access, use a short length or right angle torx bit screwdriver to tighten
the hold-down screws.

Guidelines for Installing Disk Drives in Disk Enclosures
This section provides information about the requirements and installation order for disk drives in
SFF and LFF drive enclosures.
Only 2.5-inch drives can be installed in HP 3PAR 7200/7400 controller node enclosures and HP
M6710 (2U) drive enclosures. The 3.5-inch drives can be installed only in 4U M6720 drive
enclosures.
For all drive enclosures, the slots should be balanced. For example, if two drives are added to
DP-1, two drives should be added to a drive enclosure attached to DP-2. Drives should be added
so that all enclosures are balanced with an even number of drives in each enclosure.
For all drive enclosures, the proper system temperature must be maintained. To ensure proper
thermal control, blank filler panels must be installed in any slots without drives.
Guidelines for Allocating and Loading Order (2.5 inch SFF disk drive)
For a node or M6710 Drive Enclosure, drives must be added in identical pairs, starting from slot
0 on the left and filling to the right, leaving no empty slots between drives. The best practice when
