2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI drives
and SCSI backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been
made.
1. Accessing the drive bays:
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the
CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
cover. The SCSI disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the
chassis without removing the top chassis cover.
2. CD-ROM and floppy disk drives:
A slim CD-ROM and a floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server.
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.
3. Check the SCSI disk drives:
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
4. Check the airflow:
Airflow is provided by two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans. The system
component layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling air-
flow to the components that generate the most heat. 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).
