Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-9

2-6  Preparing to Power On

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives 

and SATA backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been 

made.

Checking the Drives

All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD-

ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The 

SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis 

without removing the top chassis cover.

A slim DVD-ROM and fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer 

to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-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 six sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two 

fans that are mounted back to back) and an air shroud. The system compo-

nent layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the 

components that generate the most heat.

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.

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 recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Finally, depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.
