Air Shroud
Air shrouds concentrate airfl ow to maximize fan effi ciency. The SC835 chassis air
shroud does not require screws to set up.
Installing the Air Shroud
1. Remove the chassis cover. If necessary, remove the rear fans.
2. Place the air shroud in the chassis (see Figure 6-3). The shroud aligns with
the fan holders and covers two of the front fans with two of the rear fans.
Make sure the air shroud aligns completely with the chassis
6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
SAS/SATA Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove
power to replace or swap SAS/SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instruc-
tions. You must use standard 3.5" SAS/SATA drives in the system.
Note: Refer to the following ftp site for setup guidelines: <ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/
driver/SAS/LSI/LSI_SAS_EmbMRAID_SWUG.pdf> and Supermicro's web site for
additional inmformation < http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/>.
DVD-ROM: For installing/removing the DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain ac-
cess to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed
to the "DVD-ROM Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.
Hard Drive Backplane
The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the hard drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so no jumper
or switch confi gurations are required.
SAS/SATA Drive Installation
These drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal
from the chassis. The carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the drives. For
this reason, even empty carriers without hard drives installed must remain in the
chassis.
