2-6 Preparing to Power On
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives
and SATA backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been
made.
Checking the SATA drives
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. The SATA 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 drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
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.
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
Plug the power cords from the power supplies 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).
Finally, depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.
