Checking the Airflow
Check the Airflow
1. Make sure there are no objects obstructing the airflow in and out of the
server. In addition, if you are using a front bezel, make sure the bezel's filter
is replaced periodically.
2. Do not operate the server without hard drives or drive carriers in the drive
bays. Use only recommended server parts.
3. Make sure no wires or foreign objects obstruct airflow through the chassis.
Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path or use shorter cables.
4. The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See Chapter 4 System
Interface for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.
