Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-9
Checking the Components and Setup
1. You may have processors already installed in each of the two serverboards.
Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heatsink installation.
2. Your 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. You may 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 airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
2-6 Preparing to Power On
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives and
backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
•
The hard disk drives are accessable from the front of the server and can be
installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top
chassis cover.
•
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airflow
•
Airflow is provided by six sets of 4-cm PWM fans (each set of fans consists of
two fans that are mounted back to back) and an air shroud. The system com-
ponent layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the
components that generate the most heat.
•
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they
do not block the airflow generated by the fans.
