4. Check the airfl ow:
Airfl ow is provided by four 8-cm center chassis cooling fans. An air shroud is also
included in the system to maximize airfl ow. The system component layout was
carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that gener-
ate 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.
5. Supplying power to the system:
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the power
cords from the power supply units into a high-quality power strip that offers protec-
tion from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
