Preparing to Power On
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the hard drives and
backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
1.
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
hard disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis
without removing the top chassis cover.
2.
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.
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.
Airfl ow is provided by six sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two
fans that are mounted back to back) and an air shroud. The system compo-
nent layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the
components that generate the most heat.
2.
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.
Providing Power
1.
Plug the power cords from the power supplies unit into a high-quality power
strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.
2.
It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
3.
Finally, depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.
