Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-7

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 1041M-T2/1041M-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 2-4)
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, release the thumbscrew at the middle rear of the top cover. Then
depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover. Push
the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops. 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 an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for details
on installing PCI add-on cards.
5. Check all cable connections and airfl ow
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.
