2-3 Setting Up the System

You should ﬁ rst open the left side panel (when facing the front of the chassis) to

make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all connections have been

made.

Warning: Only qualiﬁ ed service technicians should access the inside of

the system. Except for short periods of time, do NOT operate the system

without the cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow

proper airﬂ ow and prevent overheating.

Checking the Motherboard Setup

Accessing the inside of the system (Figure 2-1): Begin by disconnecting the 1.

chassis from any power source. Grasp the cover handle (A) with your ﬁ ngers.

Use your thumb to lift the cover latch (B). Slide the cover back, toward the

rear of the chassis, then lift the cover off.

Check the CPU (processor): You may have a processor already installed into 2.

the system board. The processor should have its own heatsink attached. See

Chapter 5 for instructions on processor installation.

Check the system memory:3. Your 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.

Installing add-on cards:4. If desired, you can install up to six add-on cards to

the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing PCI- add-on cards.

Check all cable connections and airﬂ ow: Make sure all power and data cables 5.

are properly connected and not blocking the airﬂ ow. See Chapter 5 for details

on cable connections.

Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives have

been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.

Accessing the peripheral drive bays: To install a component to either of the 1.

two 5.25" drive bays, you will need to remove the side chassis cover. See the

installation and removal sections for the peripheral drives in Chapter 6.
