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. Check the SATA 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.
2. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by six sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two fans that are
mounted back to back). The system component layout was carefully 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.
3. 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.
