2-2. Chassis Features

5.25” Device Cage

The 5.25” device cage is used for mounting three 5.25” devices such as CD- ROM, tape, and hard disk drives.

3.5” Device Cage

The 3.5” device cage is used for mounting one 3.5” floppy device, such as a 1.44MB floppy, LS-120, MO, or ZIP disk drive, and two hard disk drives.

A locking lever is used to secure the 5.25” and 3.5” device cages. It can be turned clockwise to release the device cages.

Hard Disk Drive Carrier Plate above the Power Supply

A small hard disk drive carrier plate on top of the power supply is used to hold an 1” hard disk drive.

Power Supply

This server uses an ATX power supply that is normally off until an electrical signal is given to the power supply through a momentary switch located on the front of the server. There is always a standby power in the power supply for ATX power supply features to work. Therefore removing the power cord is necessary to prevent electrical shocks when working on the server components.

Air Circulation System

The server’s air circulation system is comprised of one 3-inch (8 cm) fan mounted on the inside rear of the chassis and another one mounted on the front of the chassis, as well as the power supply itself. The air circulation system cools the internal system by bringing fresh air in from the back and forcing the hot air out through the front.

System Speaker

This server has a standard speaker for error notifications and other alerts. For computer audio capability, an audio card and external speakers are necessary.

Long Card Guide

The chassis provides a long card guide to help hold the expansion cards in their slots.
