2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 1011M-T2 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 system (Figure 2-5)

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. 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 may have a processor already installed to the system board. The processor should have a heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 1011M-T2 server system may have come with system memory already in- stalled. 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 an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing a PCI add-on card.

5. Check all cable connections and airflow

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the 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 motherboard area of the chassis.
