Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the system in the rack, you will need to access the inside of the
nodes to make sure the serverboard is properly installed.
Accessing the Inside of a Node (Figure 2-6)
1.
Make sure the protective fi lm on the cover has been removed as described in
the previous section.
2.
Before removing a node, unplug all the cables that connect to that node.
3.
To remove a node, fi rst push the two latches (located near the handles)
inward.
4.
Grasp the handles and pull the node out from the rear of the chassis.
5.
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in
the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to
continue to pull the system out past the locked position.
Checking the Components and Setup
1.
You may have one or two processors already installed in each of the four
serverboards. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for
instructions on processor and heatsink installation.
2.
Your 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.
3.
You can install four add-on cards to the system (one for each node). See
Chapter 5 for details on installing PCI add-on cards.
4.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
