2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After setting up the the system, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

Accessing the Inside of the System

1.If rack mounted, first release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Then grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").

2.There are two screws that secure the cover to the chassis - remove these

first. Locate the latch on the top (side if tower) of the chassis - depress where it says "push" then lift the latch to release the cover. You can then lift the cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server. See Figure 2-5.

Checking the Components and Setup

1.You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor installation.

2.Your server 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.

3.If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing PCI add-on cards.

4.Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
