addition, if you are using a front bezel, make sure that the bezel's lter is replaced
periodically.
2. Do not operate the server without drives or drive trays in the drive bays. Use
only the recommended server parts.
3. Make sure that no wires or foreign objects obstruct airow through the chassis.
Pull all excess cabling out of the airow path or use shorter cables.
The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See “Chapter 3: System
Interface” for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.
In most cases, the chassis power supply and fans are pre-installed. If you need to
install fans continue to the Systems Fan section of this chapter. If the chassis will be
installed into a rack, continue to the next chapter for rack installation instructions
