Checking the Components
1. You may have the processor already installed into the system board.
The processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for
instructions on processor installation.
2. Your 1012G-MTFF server 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.
3. If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing a PCI add-on card.

the airow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
Checking the Airow

2. Check that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that
they do not block the airow generated by the fans.

strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is
recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

small 1U rackmount space.
