2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives and
backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-
ROM, IDE hard drives and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top/left
chassis cover. The SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the
front of the chassis without removing any chassis covers.
To install components into the 5.25" drive bays, you must fi rst remove the
top/left chassis cover as described in the previous section. Refer to Chapter 6
for details.
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive
to the system.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by two hot-swap 8-cm chassis fans. One 9-cm exhaust fan
is also mounted at the rear of the chassis. The system component layout was
carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow through the chassis.
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. Keep this in mind when you
reroute them after working on the system.
Providing Power
Plug the power cords from the power supplies unit into a high-quality power
strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recom-
mended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.
