2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After setting up the the 7044A-82R, you will need to open the unit to
make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections
have been made.
1. Accessing the inside of the 7044A-82R (see Figure 2-5):
(If rack mounted, first release the retention screws that secure the unit to the
rack. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until
it locks (you will hear a "click").) There are two screws that secure the cover
to the chassis - remove these first. Depress the button on the top (side if
tower) of the chassis to release the cover. You can then lift the cover from
the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
2. Check the CPUs (processors):
You should have one or two processors already installed into the
serverboard. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached.
See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor installation.
3. CPU clock ratio setting:
The CPU speed should be automatically detected. If not, you will need to
set the correct speed with the BIOS Setup utility. See the Frequency
Ratio setting in BIOS (Chapter 7) to set the processor speed.
4. Check the system memory:
Your 7044A-82R 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.
5. Installing add-on cards:
If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing PCI add-on cards.
6. Check all cable connections and airflow:
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
