Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-11

Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. 

2. 

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 add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for 

3. 

details on installing PCI add-on cards.

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not block-

4. 

ing the chassis airfl ow. 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 serverboard area of the chassis.

Next, you should check to make sure the hard drives have been properly installed 

and all connections have been made.

For servicing the hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover.

1. 

If you need to remove or install hard drives, please refer to Chapter 6.

2. 

Airfl ow is provided by four 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system component 

1. 

layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the compo-

nents that generate the most heat.

Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 

2. 

do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.

The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the 

1. 

power cord from the power supply unit into a high-quality power strip that of-

fers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that 

you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis control panel.
