2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 1020S-8 in the rack, 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 server (see Figure 2-5)

First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it

locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the

chassis to release the top cover. There is a large rectangular recess in the

middle front of the top cover to help you push the cover away from you until it

stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the

inside of the server.

2. Check the CPUs (processors)

You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each

processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor

and heatsink installation.

3. CPU Speed

The CPU speed should automatically be detected so you will not need to change

any jumpers or settings in the BIOS Setup utility.

4. Check the system memory

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.

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 airfl ow

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking

the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
