Server Precautions
- Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
- Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the
server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operat
ing in case of a power failure.
-
Allow the power supply unit and the SATA hard drives (7034A-T only) to cool
before touching them.
-
Always keep the chassis front door and all panels closed when not ser-
vicing to maintain proper cooling.
2-4 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After setting up the the 7034A-T/7034A-i, you will need to gain access to the
inside of the chassis to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and the
essential connections have been made. Begin by opening the left side panel
(when facing the front of the chassis). Refer to Figure 2-1 for the following steps.
1. Remove the left side panel of the chassis
First, remove the two screws that secure the back lip of the side panel to the
rear of the chassis. Then grasp the handle at the rear of the panel and pull
straight back about 1/2 inch, at which point the panel should hit a stop. Swing
the top of the panel out and completely lift it away from the chassis. When
reinstalling this panel, make sure the raised holes along the bottom of the
chassis fit into the long holes in the bottom lip of the side panel.
2. Check the CPUs (processors)
You should have one or two processors already installed into the system
board. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter
5 for instructions on processor installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your 7034A-T/7034A-i workstation may have come with system memory al-
ready 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.
