2-5 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives have been properly
installed and all connections have been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. When installing
or removing the CD-ROM, IDE hard drives or a floppy drive, you will also
need to remove the left chassis cover (not necessary for SATA drives).
2. Installing components into a 5.25" drive bay
To install components into one of the 5.25" drive bays, you must first remove
the left chassis cover as described in the previous section. Refer to Chapter
6 for details.
3. Installing CD-ROM and floppy disk drives
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or a floppy disk
drive to the system.
4. Check the SATA/IDE disk drives
Depending upon your the configuration, your system may have one or more
SATA (7034A-T) or IDE (7034A-i) hard drives already installed. If you need to
install an SATA or IDE hard drive, please refer to Chapter 6.
5. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by one 9-cm chassis cooling PWM fan and a 12-cm PWM
exhaust fan. The system component layout was carefully designed to pro-
mote sufficient airflow through the chassis interior. A specially designed air
shroud enables the 9 3/8" fan to sufficiently supply cool air to all system
components. Also note that all power and data cables have been routed in
such a way that they do not block the airflow generated by the fans. Keep
this in mind when you reroute them after working on the system.
6. Supplying power to the system:
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug
the power cord from the power supply 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.
