Preparing to Power On

Checking the Drives
1. Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have hard
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 four 8-cm hot-swap system fans working in conjunction
with air shrouds on each node. The system component layout was carefully
designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow through the chassis.
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. Keep this in mind when you
reroute them after working on the system.
Providing Power
1. Plug the AC power cords 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.
Warning: Except for short periods of time while swapping nodes, do not
operate the server with the node bays empty. In the unlikely event of a
!
node failure, remove the failed node and replace it with the dummy node
that was included with the system..
