Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5010H/5010E 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 5010H/5010E (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 CPU (processor):

You should have one processor already installed into the system

board. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See

Section 5-5 for instructions on processor installation.

3. Verify the proper CPU core/bus ratio setting:

The CPU FSB speed is set with jumpers (JP 11, and JP12). (See Section

5-9 for details.) The CPU speed can also be changed by software control

in BIOS (see CPU Speed Setting). The CPU Speed Setting will show you

the actual CPU speed for each FSB speed option selected.

4. Check the system memory:

Your 5010H/5010E 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 Section 5-5.

5. Installing add-on cards:

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

7 for details on installing a PCI add-on card.
