2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 1011M-T2 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 system (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

CPU

(processor)

You may have a processor already installed to the system board. The processor

should have a heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and

heatsink

installation.

3. Check

the

system

memory

Your 1011M-T2 server system may have come with system memory already in-

stalled. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding

system

memory,

refer

to

Chapter

5.

4. Installing

add-on

cards

If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for details

on installing a PCI add-on card.

5. Check all cable connections and airfl ow

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

airfl ow. 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 motherboard area of the

chassis.
