2. If you are installing the SuperServer 6025B UR into a Telco type rack follow the di rections given on the previous pages for rack installation The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack They should be spaced apart just enough to accommodate the width of the telco rack 2 6 Chapter 2 Server Installation Figure 2 2 Installing the Server into a Rack 2 7 SUPERSERVER 6025B UR User s Manual 2 5 Checking the Serverboard Setup After you install the 6025B UR 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 System see Figure 2 3 First 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 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 may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard Each processor needs its own heatsink See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation 3 Check the system memory Your 6025B UR server system may have come with system memory already in stalled Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots For details on adding system memory refer to Chap
