2-3 System Access

You may need to access the inside of the system for system configuration or maintenance.

The SC732 features two removable side covers, allowing easy access to the chas- sis interior.

Removing the Side Covers

1.Disconnect the chassis from any power souce.

2.Remove the two screws securing the left side cover to the chassis.

3.Slide the left cover toward the rear of the chassis.

4.Lift the left cover from the chassis.

5.Remove the three screws securing the right side cover to the chassis.

6.Slide the right cover toward the rear of the chassis

7.Lift the right cover from the chassis.

8.Check the airflow: Cooling air is provided by the chassis fan and the power supply fan. The system component layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow throughout the chassis. 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 fan. Please keep this in mind when rerouting or adding/ removing cables.

9.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).

!

Warning: Except for short periods of time, do NOT operate the system without the cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating.
