2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drives
have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
All drives are accessible from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD- 1.
ROM and floppy 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.
A slim DVD-ROM and a floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. 2.
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or 3.
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airflow
Airflow is provided by four 8-cm center chassis cooling fans. An air shroud 1.
is also included in the system to maximize airflow. The system component
layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the compo
-
nents that generate the most heat.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 2.
do not block the airflow generated by the fans.
Providing Power
Plug the power cord(s) from the power supply unit(s) into a high-quality power 1.
strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recom-
mended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis. 2.
