Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-11
Checking the Components
You may have processors already installed to the serverboard. Each proces- 1.
sor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and
heatsink installation.
Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. 2.
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 3.
details on installing PCI add-on cards.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not block- 4.
ing the chassis airfl 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.
2-6 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
For servicing the hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. 1.
If you need to remove or install hard drives, please refer to Chapter 6. 2.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system component 1.
layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the compo-
nents that generate the most heat.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 2.
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
