Checking Airow
• Make sure there are no objects obstructing the airow in and out of the chassis.
• Except for brief periods while swapping hard drives, do not operate the server without the
drive carriers in the drive bays.
• Make sure no wires or foreign objects obstruct airow through the chassis. Pull all excess
cabling out of the airow path or use shorter cables.
