6: Basic Troubleshooting and Chassis Service
Hard Drive Backplane
The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termination. A RAID
controller and/or optional RAID software can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the
hard drives. The backplane is already preconfigured, so no jumper or switch configurations are
required.
DVD-ROM Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM drive bay. The
system accommodates only slim type DVD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are typically
needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the server.
Accessing the Inside of the Chassis
1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear
a "click").
2. Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and at the
same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from
the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
Note: You must power down the system before installing or removing IDE components.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed in their bays.
Power Supply
The system has a 1200/1400 watt redundant power supply consisting of one or (optionally) two
power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to
automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage.
