Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and then SATA drives and
backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
1.
All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-
ROM drives and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top/left chassis
cover. The SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of
the chassis without removing any chassis covers.
2.
To install components into the 5.25" drive bays, you must fi rst remove the
top/left chassis cover as described in the previous section. Refer to Chapter 6
for details.
3.
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive
to the system.
4.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
1.
Airfl ow is provided by four hot-swap 8-cm chassis fans working in conjunction
with an air shroud. Two 8-cm exhaust fans are also mounted at the rear of
the chassis. 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.
Supplying Power to the System
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system.
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.
Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.
