4. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by four sets of counter-rotating 4-cm fans. The system com-
ponent layout was carefully designed to direct the 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 power to the system. Plug the power
cord from the power supply module 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). Finish by depressing the power
button on the front of the chassis to start the system.
