Installing DP or SP Series Boards

Installing DP or SP Series Boards

The following instructions provide general installation instructions for Density Series compatible server boards. Refer to the appropriate manual with the processor board for configuration instructions.

CAUTION!

Group power must be off before installing any Cubix processors or
peripheral boards, or third-party peripheral cards. Failure to follow this
warning may result in damage to the Density Series system and boards
being installed.

At the front console, select and turn power off to the group location where you intend to install the server board (refer to Chapter 3 for front console operation instructions).

If a hard-drive is installed in the group hard drive slot, remove the hard drive.

Configure the switch and jumper settings on the board being installed.

Insert the board into the group slot, ensuring the card interface tabs are aligned with the center of the slot.

Firmly seat the processor card(s) into their slots by firmly pressing on the top of the card with the palm of your hand.

If installing a DP6200D Dual-SMP board set, attach the three-inch 40-pin ribbon cable between the EIDE jacks located on the top edge of the processor and I/O boards.

Install the hard drive assembly and fully seat the assembly into the hard drive interface located on the front edge of the processor board (single-processor servers) or I/O board (dual-SMP servers).

Connect an RJ-45 network cable to the network interface jack located on the "L" bracket at the rear of the card and the other end to the network hub or switch port.

At the front console apply power to the processor group.
