Chapter 2: Server Installation

Checking the Components
You may have one processor already installed into the system board. The
processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instruc-
tions on processor installation.
Your 5015B-MF 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.
If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing a PCI add-on card.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not block-
ing the 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
motherboard area of the chassis.
2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drives
and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential connec-
tions have been made.
Checking the Drives
To access the internal hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
cover. See step 1 in the previous section for instructions on removing the top
chassis cover.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have an IDE
or Serial ATA drive already installed. If you need to install an IDE or Serial
ATA drive, please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by a single 10-cm blower fan. The system component
layout was carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow through the small
1U rackmount space.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
