2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI
drives and SCA backplane (5012B-6 only) or IDE drives (5012B-E only)
have been properly installed and all 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 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 and floppy disk drives
Refer to Section 6-4 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.
3. Check the SCSI disk drives (5012B-6)
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two SCSI drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives,
please refer to Section 6-4.
4. Check the IDE disk drives (5012B-E)
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two IDE hard drives already installed. If you need to install an IDE hard
drive, please refer to Section 6-4.
5. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by a 10-cm input fan and one (optional) 4-cm cooling
fan. 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.
6. 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).
