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 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 drive, 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. Installing a CD-ROM drive
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM drive to the system.
3. Check the SCSI disk drives
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or more
SCSI drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please refer to
the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
4. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by four high-performance 4-cm input fans. The system com-
ponent layout was carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow 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 airfl ow 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). Finish by pressing the power button
on the front of the chassis.
