Checking The Airflow; Drive Bay Installation/Removal; Accessing The Drive Bays - Supero SUPERSERVER 1018R-WC0R User Manual

Checking the Airflow

Check the Airflow
1. Make sure there are no objects obstructing the airflow in and out of the
server. In addition, if you are using a front bezel, make sure the bezel's filter
is replaced periodically.
2. Do not operate the server without hard drives or drive carriers in the drive
bays. Use only recommended server parts.
3. 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.
4. The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See Chapter 3 System
Interface for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.

Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

Hard Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace hard drives.
Refer to the figure below for the drive bay configuration on the 1018R-WC0R.
