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 SATA drives

1.The SATA disk drives are accessable from the front of the server and can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2.Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer to Chapter 6.

Checking the Airflow

1.Airflow is provided by six sets of 4-cm PWM fans (each set of fans consists of two fans that are mounted back to back) and an air shroud. The system component layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the components that generate the most heat.

2.Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they do not block the airflow generated by the fans.

Providing Power

1.Plug the power cords from the power supplies unit into a high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.

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

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