2-6 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the FatTwin F628G3-FT+/-FTPT+ 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.
Accessing the inside of the System
Before operating the server for the fi rst time, it is important to remove the protective
fi lm covering the top of the chassis, in order to allow for proper ventilation and
cooling.
Warning: Except for short periods of time, do NOT operate the server without
the cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow proper airfl ow
and prevent overheating.
Checking the Components and Setup
1. You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard.
Each processor needs its own heat sink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heat sink installation.
2. Your FatTwin F628G3-FT+/-FTPT+ 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.
3. If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing PCI add-on cards.
4. 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.
