Depending on the configuration, the server can include the following types of filler panels and modules:
Hard drive filler panels
DIMM filler panels (these are used only to ship new processor modules). You must remove all of the DIMM filer panels and replace them with DIMMs before installing the new processor modules. DIMM filler panels are not supported in running processor modules.
PCIe card carriers (these function like filler panels when a card is not installed)
Processor filler modules (located in slot 1 and slot 2 in a half-populated server)
![]() | Caution - To maintain the proper air flow, all filler panels and modules must remain in the server unless you remove one to install a functioning component at the same time. |
