2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5015M-T/5015M-T+ 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, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. 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 5015M-T/5015M-T+ 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 a PCI add-on card.
5. Check all cable connections and airfl ow
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.
