SUPERSERVER 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8 Manual

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

1.Accessing the inside of the System (see Figure 2-5)

First, release the retention screws that secure the system to the rack. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system 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 (1). Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops (2). You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to continue to pull the system out past the locked position. Another set of locking tabs will stop the chassis before it comes completely out of the rack.

2.Check the CPUs (processors)

You should have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.

3.Verify the proper CPU clock ratio setting

If the CPU speed is not automatically detected you will need to set the correct speed with the BIOS Setup utility. See the CPU speed setting in BIOS (Chapter 7) for setting the proper CPU speed. (Most processor speeds are automatically detected so this step should be unnecessary.)

4.Check the system memory

Your 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8 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.
