Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5010H/5010E 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.

1.Accessing the inside of the 5010H/5010E (see Figure 2-5):

First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover. There is a large rectangular recess in the middle front of the top cover to help you push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

2.Check the CPU (processor):

You should have one processor already installed into the system board. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Section 5-5 for instructions on processor installation.

3.Verify the proper CPU core/bus ratio setting:

The CPU FSB speed is set with jumpers (JP 11, and JP12). (See Section 5-9 for details.) The CPU speed can also be changed by software control in BIOS (see CPU Speed Setting). The CPU Speed Setting will show you the actual CPU speed for each FSB speed option selected.

4.Check the system memory:

Your 5010H/5010E 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 Section 5-5.

5.Installing add-on cards:

If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Section 5- 7 for details on installing a PCI add-on card.
