SUPERSERVER 6015B-Ni Manual

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6015B-Ni 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 6015B-Ni (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 CPUs (processors)

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

3.Check the system memory

Your 6015B-Ni 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.

4.Installing add-on cards

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

5.Check all cable connections and airflow

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not block- ing the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under the blower fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the drive bay area from the serverboard area of the chassis.
