2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 6012L-6 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to
make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections
have been made.
1. Accessing the inside of the 6012L-6 (see Figure 2-5):
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"). 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 should have one or two processors already installed into the
system board. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter
5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.
3. Verify the proper CPU clock ratio setting:
If the CPU speed is not automatically detected you will need to set the
correct speed with the DIP switch located on the motherboard. See
Chapter 5 for details on the DIP switch to set the correct CPU speed.
4. Check the system memory:
Your 6012L-6 server system may have come with system memory al-
ready 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.
