2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

Accessing the Inside of the System

1.Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").

2.Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover. Push the cover away from you until it stops.

3.Lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server. See Figure 2-4.

Checking the Components

1.You may have the processor already installed into the system board. The processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instruc- tions on processor installation.

2.Your 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF server system may have come with system memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.

3.If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing a PCI add-on card.

4.Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the airﬂow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
