Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6025B-3/6025B-3R 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 2-3)

First, 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. 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 may 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. Check the system memory

Your 6025B-3/6025B-3R server system may have come with system memory al- ready 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 blocking the chassis airflow. Also make sure that no cables are positioned in front of the fans. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
