Opening the Chassis The AP1400R chassis is a 1U form factor designed for easy assembly and disassembly, making the installation of internal components very convenient. At the top of the chassis is a rotating lock that secures the cover to the chassis. Unlocking the Cover To unlock the cover, turn rotating...
Opening the Chassis Removing the Cover Slide the top cover toward the front for about an inch, then lift it from the chassis. CAUTION The top cover of the chassis has locking tabs at the rear end that connect to the inner side of the back panel. Make sure to disengage the locking tabs before lifting up the cover.
Internal Components The AP1400R server interior comprise the motherboard and other parts that complete the system. 1. Power Supply 2. CPU Blower 3. SCSI Backplane Board 4. Floppy Drive 5. SCSI Hard Disk Bay 2 6. SCSI Hard Disk Bay 1 7.
Motherboard Placement This section tells how the motherboard is placed into the chassis in case you need to remove and re-install it in the future. NOTE The motherboard and other internal components of the AP1400R server are already installed as indicated in the section “Internal Components”...
Central Processing Unit (CPU) The CUR-DLSR motherboard has two ZIF Socket 370. Each socket supports one Intel Pentium III processor. The figure below shows the CPU sockets on the motherboard. (NOTE: The CPU sockets are underneath the CPU blower tube. Detach the tube to locate the sockets.) CPU Socket Locations Socket for CPU 2...
Central Processing Unit (CPU) CPU Installation 1. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways then lifting it up to a 90°-100° angle. See Figure 1. 2. Position the CPU above the socket such that its notched or marked corner matches the socket corner near the end of the lever, while making sure that the CPU is parallel to the...
CPU Heatsink Attaching the Heatsink Front Clip Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU. Attach the heatsink front clip to the front of the CPU socket. (NOTE: When viewed from the front, the CPU socket has the lever on the right side.) Attaching the Heatsink Back Clip Use a flat screwdriver to...
CPU T erminator When using only one processor socket, make sure to install an S370 processor terminator to the unused socket. Install a CPU terminator as you would install a CPU. Refer to the section “CPU Installation” . CPU Socket 2 with Installed Terminator CPU Socket 1 with Installed CPU and...
CPU Blower and Tube To maintain the ideal temperature for the CPUs, the chassis includes a 9-cm CPU blower. The blower has an extended tube directed to the two CPUs. The blower cable connects to the CPU_FAN2 connector on the motherboard. CPU Blower and Tube Location Three screws (indicated by white circles) secure the CPU blower to the base of the chassis.
Cooling Fans Subdividing the motherboard area and the disk drive area is a metal bracket that holds the cooling fans. These fans maintain the ideal temperature for the system memory and the expansion card. The fan cables connect to CHA_FAN1 and CHA_FAN2 on the motherboard. A fan fail LED on the front panel indicates if a fan fails while another LED indicates a thermal failure.
System Memor y DIMM Installation 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notches on the DIMM (indicated by white circles on the figure) match the breaks on the socket. DIMM Socket Retaining Clip 2.
Riser Card / Expansion Card The motherboard has a 64-bit/33MHz PCI expansion slot. The slot requires a PCI riser card (P64-1U) to accommodate a PCI expansion card. The riser card comes with the system package. The riser card golden fingers connect to the PCI slot on the motherboard.
