2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the AS1021M-T2/1021M-82 in the rack, you will need to open the top cover 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.

2. Check the CPUs (processors)

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

3. Check the system memory

Your 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 blocking the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
