Description
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 while pushing 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.
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.
Your 1100 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.
If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter
5 for details on installing a PCI add-on card.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the airflow. 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.
Note:
Make sure that the air seals are properly installed.
