2-7 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SAS/SATA drives have been properly installed and all connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

1.All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD- ROM, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The hard drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2.A slim DVD-ROM may be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to install a DVD-ROM drive to the system.

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

Checking the Airflow

1.Airflow is provided by three hot-swappable 8-cm chassis cooling fans. 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 cord(s) from the power supply unit(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).

2.Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.
