Installing the Cooling Shroud

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.

1 Align the shroud using the center of the numbered fan bays as a guide.
2 Press the cooling shroud down into the chassis.
3 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 67.
4 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on,

including any attached peripherals.

Hard Drives

Your system supports 3.5-inch (SAS or SATA) hard drives in 3.5-inch

hot-swap hard drive carrier. The hard drives are installed at the front of the

system (see Figure 3-1). Front-mounted hard drives are connected to a SAS

backplane through hard-drive carriers and can be configured as hot-

swappable.

Removing a Hard-Drive Blank

CAUTION:

To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must

have drive blanks installed.

1 If installed, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on

page 65.

2 Grasp the front of the hard-drive blank, press the release lever on

the right side, and slide the blank out until it is free of the drive bay.

See Figure 3-5.
