d'oh of the day contest entry, just fyi:
you can run an F330 with the case open, or at least ajar. i often do after i've done work, before i seal the case down tight, to make sure that it boots and i'm not going to have to undo everything to fix it. well, don't try the same trick with an F630; it doesn't work. thanks to rich ciammaichella at netapp for not roasting me when we discovered that this was a major part of my F630 booting problem.
for those who haven't looked closely inside an F630, there are no longer cables going from the board to the front-of-case displays; there are now fixed connectors that seat when the board tray is slid fully home. this may be true for other high-end models, too - i don't know.
