2-7 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Checking the Drives
1. For servicing the SATA and optional DVD-ROM drives, remove the top
chassis cover. The SATA disk drive is located at the front of the chassis
interior.
2. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a optional DVD-ROM drive to the
system.
3. Depending upon your system's configuration, it may have a SATA hard drive
already installed. If you need to install a SATA hard drive, please refer to the
appropriate section in Chapter 6.
Checking the Airflow
1. Airflow is provided by sets of two (2) 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system
component layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow through
the small 1U rackmount space.
2. 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 fan.
Providing Power
1. 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).
2. Finish by pushing the power button on the control panel to power up the
system.
