Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6013P-8+ in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make
sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been
made.
1. Accessing the inside of the 6013P-8+ (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 CPUs (processors):
You should have one or two processors already installed into the
serverboard.
for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.
3. Verify the proper CPU clock ratio setting:
If the CPU speed is not automatically detected you will need to set the
correct speed with the BIOS Setup utility. See the CPU Frequency Ratio
settings in BIOS (Chapter 7) for setting the proper CPU speed.
processor speeds are automatically detected so this step should be un-
necessary.)
4. Check the system memory:
Your 6013P-8+ 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.
Each processor needs its own heatsink.
