2-6 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 2042G-72RF4 in the rack, open the top cover to make sure the
serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.
Accessing the Inside of the System
1. Release the retention screws that secure the system to the rack.
2. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it
locks with a click.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
Checking the Components and Setup
•
You may have up to four processors already installed in the serverboard.
Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heatsink installation.
•
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.
•
If desired, you can install PCI extension cards to the system. See Chapter 5
for details.
•
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
