Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
Serial ATA Power Cables
Serial ATA power cables should be routed so that they do not block the airfl ow
through the chassis. See the motherboard layout diagram for the location of the
cable connections.
Serial ATA Backplane
The Serial ATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus
termination. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data
security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the Serial ATA drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured,
so there are no jumpers or switches present on it.
Removing the Air Shroud
Under most circumstances you will not need to remove the air shroud to perform
any service on the system. However, if you wish to temporarily remove it (the air
shroud sould always be in place when the system is operating), please follow this
procedure.
Begin by depressing the tabs at the front and rear of the shroud to unlock it, then
lift it up and out of the chassis. To reinstall, simply position the air shroud in its
proper place and push it in until you hear it click.
