Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI drives

and SCSI 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

CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis

cover. The SCSI disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the

chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2. CD-ROM and floppy disk drives

A slim CD-ROM and floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server.

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

drive to the system.

3. Check the SCSI disk drives

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one

or more drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please

refer to Chapter 6.

4. Check the airflow

Airflow is provided by two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans. The system

component layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling air-

flow 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 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).
