2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5025M-4/5025M-i 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 (see 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 CPUs (processors)
You should have one or two processors already installed into the system board. The
processor needs a heatsink installed. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor
and heatsink installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your 5025M-4/5025M-i 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 airfl ow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the
chassis airfl ow. Also make sure that no cables are positioned in front of the fans.
See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
