2-6 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the server in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure
the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.
Removing the Chassis Cover
1. Release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.
2. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click").
3. Remove the screws from the chassis cover (see Figure 2-5).
4. Release the top cover by pushing it 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
Checking the Components
1. You may have processors already installed into the serverboard. Each
processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for
instructions on processor installation.
2. The A+ Server 1012C-MRF 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 an extension card to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing a PCI extension card.
4. Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also, check that
the air shroud is properly installed.
