Checking the Motherboard Setup

After setting up the the 7043M-8/7043M-6, 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 7043M-8/7043M-6 (see Figure 2-6):
(If rack mounted, 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").) Depress the two buttons on the top (side
if tower) of the chassis to release the cover. There is a large rectangular
recess in the middle front of the cover to help you push the cover away from
you until it stops. You can then lift the 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.
See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor installation.
3. CPU clock ratio setting:
The CPU speed should be automatically detected.
4. Check the system memory:
Your 7043M-8/7043M-6 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 airflow:
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connec-
tions.
Each processor should have its own heatsink attached.
