2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial
ATA drives and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all
essential connections have been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing
the CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
cover. The Serial ATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the
front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.
2. Installing a CD-ROM and floppy disk drives
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.
3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two Serial ATA drives already installed. If you need to install Serial
ATA drives, please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by two 10-cm input fans. The system component
layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow through the
small 1U rackmount space. 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.
5. 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).
