2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

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

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

been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays

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

2. CD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives

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

to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to the

system.

3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives

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.

4. Check the airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by fi ve sets of 40-mm fans (each set of fans consists of two

fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was care-

fully 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.

5. Supplying power to the system

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

power cord(s) from the power supply module(s) 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) source.
