Step 1 Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe feel a kind of tight , and then continue pull the rod to 90degree when a noise “cough” made Step 2 Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU upper corner. Then insert the CPU into the socket. Step 3 Press down the CPU socket lever and finish CPU installation.
GS-SR168 Rack Mount Server Step 3-3: Heat Sink Installation Step 1 Place the Heat Sink on the CPU. Before putting the heat sink on the CPU, please well remember to apply the thermal conductivity compound on the CPU. Step 2 Seat the heat sink with the four screws. Installation completed. Step 3-4: Memory Installation 1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction. 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down. 3.
Hardware Installation Process Step 3-5: PCI Expansion Card Installation GS-SR168 provides expansion riser slot for one PCI-X 64/66MHz slot; and one with PCI-E x8 slot. To install the peripheral, please go through the following steps. Note!! Before installing the PCI expansion card, please check the card size limitation. Size limitation for PCI-X height is 203.4 mm x 95 mm. Step 1 Lift the riser bracket slightly, then pull it out from the server chassis.
GS-SR168 Rack Mount Server Step 3-6: Hard Disk Drive Installation Step 1 Press the release button and pull the blank out of the drive bay. Step 2 Remove the plastic hard disk tray. Step 3 Slide hard disk into blank and secure it with screws. Step 4 To replace the hard drive blank, slide the blank into the bay until it locks into place. Connect cable and power. Step 5 Place the hard disk into the server system.
Hardware Installation Process Step 3-7: FAN Duct Removal and Installation Step 1 Pull up the screw-holder and lossen the thumbscrews. Lift up to remove the fan duct. Step 2 For FAN Duct Installation, place the fan duct on the top of heat sinks. Fasten the screws to the locked position and push down the screw-holders.
