2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives and 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 fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The 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 fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to the system.

3.Check the SATA disk drives

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

4.Check the airflow

Airfl ow is provided by four sets of 4-cm 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 suffi cient cooling airfl ow 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 airfl ow 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 cords from the power supply modules 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.
