2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5014C-MF 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, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. If you installed
with rails, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, remove the screw at the back of the chassis
that secures the top cover. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to
release the top cover from the locked position. 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 one processor already installed into the system board. The processor
should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor
installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your 5014C-MF 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.
