If any internal modifications have been made to the server prior to installation in the rack, you may
wish to recheck the server's interior.
You should have two processors already installed on the serverboard. Each processor needs its
own heatsink.
Your server comes with system memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated
in their slots. For details on adding system memory, see "Installing System DIMM Memory" on
page 27.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the chassis airflow.
The system disk drives are accessible from the front of the server and can be installed and removed
from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system will have one or more drives already
installed.
Airflow through the server is provided by an air shroud and seven 4-cm counter-rotating cooling
fans for the node board and other internal components of the chassis. The system component
layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the components that generate
the most heat. Each power supply has it's own built-in cooling fan assembly.
Note that all power and data cables should be routed in such a way that they do not block the
airflow generated by the fans.
Plug the power cord(s) from the server power supply unit into a rack power distribution unit
(PDU) or high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.
