2-6 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the server in the rack, you should open the unit to make sure the
serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.
Removing the Chassis Cover
1. Power down the system and disconnect the power cords from the rear of the
power supplies.
2. Remove the screws securing the top cover to the chassis.
3. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis.
4. Lift the cover up and off the chassis.
Caution: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the server without the
cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow proper airow and
prevent overheating.
Checking the Serverboard Components
•You may have processors already installed to the serverboard. Each processor
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.
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 expansion cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing PCI expansion cards.
•Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airow. 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.
