Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives have
been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
•
For servicing the DVD-ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top
chassis cover.
•
The Serial ATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the
chassis without removing the top chassis cover.
•
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
two Serial ATA drives already installed. If you need to install Serial ATA drives,
please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
•
Airfl ow is provided by two 10-cm input fans. The system component layout was
carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow through the small 1U rackmount
space.
•
Also 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
•
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the
power cord from the power supply unit 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).
