2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

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

1.Accessing the drive bays

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

2.DVD-ROM and floppy disk drives

A slim DVD-ROM and floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or floppy disk drive to the system.

3.Check the SAS/SATA disk drives

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

4.Check the airflow

Airflow is provided by four sets of 40-mm fans (each set of fans consists of two fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was care- fully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the components that generate the most heat. 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 module 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) source.
