Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-5
Completing the Confi guration
Your server may or may not come with hard disk drives, processors or system
memory already installed. The following sections refer you to the procedures for
installing these components.
Checking the Components and Setup
• To install processors and heatsinks into the serverboard, see Chapter 5 for
the procedure.
• To install system memory DIMMs, refer to Chapter 5.
• To install hard disk drives or optional peripheral drives, see the procedures in
Chapter 6.
• To install expansion cards to the system, see Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
• Airfl ow is provided by three 8-cm chassis cooling fans. The system compo-
nent layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the
components that generate the most heat.
• To install the air shroud that assists with air fl ow, see Chapter 6.
• Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airfl ow. Also make sure that no cables are positioned in front of
the fans.
Providing Power
After installing or checking components and mounting your server in its rack, con-
nect the power.
1. Plug the power cords from the power supply units into a high-quality power strip
that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended
that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
2. Depress the power button on the front of the chassis.
