4. Check the airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by four sets of counter-rotating 4-cm fans. The system com-

ponent layout was carefully designed to direct the 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.

5. Supplying power to the system

The last thing you must do is to provide power to the system. Plug the power

cord from the power supply module 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). Finish by depressing the power

button on the front of the chassis to start the system.
