2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After setting up the the system, you may 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 (see Figure 2-5)
If rack mounted, fi rst 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").)
There are two screws that secure the cover to the chassis - remove these
fi rst.
Using the indentations on the side cover (see Figure 2-5), push the cover to
slide it off the chassis.
Lift the cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
Checking the Components and Setup
You may have four processors already installed into the serverboard. Each
processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instruc-
tions on processor and heat sink installation.
Your 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.
If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing PCI add-on cards.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
