Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SAS/SATA drives
have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
1. All drives are accessible from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD-
ROM, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The hard drives can be
installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top
chassis cover.
2. A slim DVD-ROM may be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter 6 if
you need to install a DVD-ROM drive to the system.
3. Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install hard drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
1. Make sure there are no objects obstructing the airfl ow in and out of the
server. In addition, if you are using a front bezel, make sure the bezel's fi lter
is replaced periodically.
2. Do not operate the server without drives or drive trays in the drive bays. Use
only recommended server parts.
3. Make sure no wires or foreign objects obstruct air fl ow through the chassis.
Pull all excess cabling out of the airfl ow path or use shorter cables.
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.
