Checking the System Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives
have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
•
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. A hard drive can be
installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top
chassis cover.
•
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install hard drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airflow
•
Make sure there are no objects obstructing the airflow in and out of the chassis.
In addition, if you are using a front bezel, make sure the bezel's filter is replaced
periodically.
•
Except for brief periods while swapping hard drives, do not operate the server
without drives or the drive carriers in the drive bays. Use only recommended
server parts.
•
Make sure no wires or foreign objects obstruct airflow through the chassis. Pull
all excess cabling out of the airflow path or use shorter cables.
•
The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See Chapter 3: System
Interface for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.
Providing Power
1. Plug the power cord(s) from the power supply unit(s) into a high-quality
power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is
recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
2. Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.
