Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SAS/SATA
drives and SAS/SATA backplane have been properly installed and all connections
have been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD-
ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The
SAS/SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis
without removing the top chassis cover.
2. DVD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives
A slim DVD-ROM and fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer
to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to the
system.
3. Check the SATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SAS/SATA drives, please
refer to Chapter 6.
4. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by four sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two
fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was care-
fully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that generate
the most heat. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a
way that they do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
5. Supplying power to the system
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the
power cords from the power supply modules 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) source.
