Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6113L-8/6113L-i 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 6113L-8/6113L-i (see Figure 2-4):

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 may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each processor needs its own heatsink and power pod (VRM) installed. 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 may need to set the correct speed with the BIOS Setup utility. See the appropriate 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 6113L-8/6113L-i 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.

5.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.
