System Components Air Circulation System The server's air circulation system is comprised of one 3 inch (8 cm) fan mounted on the inside rear of the chassis and another one mounted on the front of the chassis, as well as the power supply itself. The air circulation system cools the internal system by bringing fresh air in from the back and forcing the hot air out through the front. It is important to keep the air surrounding the hard disk drives below 122°F (50°C) to prevent hard disk failures. Components Circulation / Speaker 18 IMPORTANT: The chassis panels must be installed for proper air flow. Fan Replacement The two individual fans are secured by plastic housings. The fan housings can be removed by pressing in the clip and sliding the housing upward. Press clip with screw driver to release IMPORTANT: When replacing the fans, be sure that both fans rotate in the same direction. [. . . ] Appendix SCSI Connection Examples This is an example of how SCSI devices can be connected to your server. · · · Two 9GB Ultra2-SCSI hard disks in the 3. 5" cage can be connected to the Ultra2 connector on the motherboard for 18GB of main storage. One Ultra-SCSI tape drive in the 5. 25" cage is connected to the 50 pin narrow connector on the motherboard for routine backups. The Wide-SCSI connector on the motherboard can be extended (using an optional SCSI cable with external bracket) to the chassis slot opening for connection of an external 4GB Ultra-Wide Hard disk drive and a Wide-SCSI CD recorder for archives. 68 pin Fast/Ultra-Wide Cable 68 pin Ultra-Wide Hard Disk (with external casing & power) IDE Hard Disk Drive 68 pin Wide-SCSI CD-R Drive (with external casing & power) (Terminated) IDE CD-ROM Drive 50 pin SCSI Tape Drive (Terminated) 50 pin Fast/Ultra-Narrow Cable 68 pin Ultra2 Hard Disks 68 pin Ultra2 Cable 68 pin external SCSI connector You must terminate the SCSI cable even if no devices are connected.
