Checking the Serverboard Setup

 

After you install the 2022TG-HTRF/HIBQRF 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.

 

Removing the Chassis Cover and Protective  Film

 

 

1. Remove the two screws which secure the top cover onto the chassis as 

shown above.

 

 

2. Lift the top cover up and off the chassis.

 

 

3. Peel off the protective fi lm covering the top cover and the top of the chassis

 

 

4. Check that all ventilation openings  on the top cover and the top of the chassis 

are clear and unobstructed.

 

 

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 2022TG-HTRF/HIBQRF  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.
