2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drive
have been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
For servicing the Serial ATA, DVD-ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove
the top chassis cover. The Serial ATA disk drive is located at the front of the chas-
sis' interior.
2. Installing a DVD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to
the system.
3. Check the Serial ATA disk drive
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have a Serial ATA
hard drive already installed. If you need to install a Serial ATA hard drive, please
refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
4. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by sets of 4-cm counter-rotating 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 fan.
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).
