Checking the Components and Setup

1.You may have one or two processors already installed in each of the two serverboards. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.

2.Your 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.You can install two add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing PCI add-on cards.

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