4. Check the SATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.
5. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by four hot-swap 8-cm chassis fans working in conjunction
with an air shroud. Two 8-cm exhaust fans are also mounted at the rear of the
chassis. The system component layout was carefully designed to promote suf-
fi cient airfl ow through the chassis. Also 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. 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.
