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 connec-
tions 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 fl oppy 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 fl oppy disk drives
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to
the system.
3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's confi guration, 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 airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by two 10-cm input fans. The system component 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 protec-
tion from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
