Chapter 2: Server Installation 2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCA drives and backplane have been properly installed and all 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 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. Installing a CD-ROM and floppy disk drives: Refer to Section 6-4 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 some SCSI drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please refer to Section 6-4. 4. Check the airflow: Airflow is provided by four hot-swap input fans and one exhaust fan, all of which are 9-cm in size. An air shroud has been installed to direct sufficient cooling air to the processors, which generate the most heat. 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 supply power to the system.
Plug two or all three power cords from the two power supply units 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). 2-9
