2-2. Chassis Features
5.25” Device Cage
The 5.25” device cage is used for mounting three 5.25” devices such as CD-
ROM, tape, and hard disk drives.
3.5” Device Cage
The 3.5” device cage is used for mounting one 3.5” floppy device, such as a
1.44MB floppy, LS-120, MO, or ZIP disk drive, and two hard disk drives.
A locking lever is used to secure the 5.25” and 3.5” device cages. It can be
turned clockwise to release the device cages.
Hard Disk Drive Carrier Plate above the Power Supply
A small hard disk drive carrier plate on top of the power supply is used to
hold an 1” hard disk drive.
Power Supply
This server uses an ATX power supply that is normally off until an electri-
cal signal is given to the power supply through a momentary switch lo-
cated on the front of the server. There is always a standby power in the
power supply for ATX power supply features to work. Therefore remov-
ing the power cord is necessary to prevent electrical shocks when work-
ing on the server components.
Air Circulation System
The server’s air circulation system is comprised of one 3-inch (8 cm) fan mounted
on the inside rear of the chassis and another one mounted on the front of the
chassis, as well as the power supply itself. The air circulation system cools the
internal system by bringing fresh air in from the back and forcing the hot air out
through the front.
System Speaker
This server has a standard speaker for error notifications and other alerts.
For computer audio capability, an audio card and external speakers are
necessary.
Long Card Guide
The chassis provides a long card guide to help hold the expansion cards in
their slots.
