2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drives and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.

1.Accessing the drive bays

All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The Serial ATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2.Installing a CD-ROM and floppy disk drives

Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk drive to the system.

3.Check the Serial ATA disk drives

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or two Serial ATA drives already installed. If you need to install Serial ATA drives, please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

4.Check the airflow

Airflow is provided by two 10-cm input fans. The system component layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow through the small 1U rackmount space. Also 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.

5.Supplying power to the system

The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the power cord from the power supply unit 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).
