2-6 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 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 drive, 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. Installing a CD-ROM drive
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM drive to the system.
3. Check the SCSI disk drives
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or
more SCSI drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please
refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by three high-performance 4-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).
