Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-11
Caution: 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
1. You should have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard.
Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heatsink installation.
2. Your 2027R-WRF 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 air fl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also,
check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under the blower
fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the drive bay area
from the serverboard area of the chassis.
2-7 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the hard drives have been properly installed
and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
1. For servicing the hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover.
2. If you need to remove or install hard drives, please refer to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
1. Air fl ow is provided by three (3) 8-cm counter-rotating fans. The system
component layout was carefully designed to direct suf fi cient cooling air fl ow to
the components that generate the most heat.
2. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they
do not block the air fl ow generated by the fans.
Providing Power
1. The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the
power cord from the power supply unit into a high-quality power strip that
offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended
that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
2. Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis control panel.
