Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
6-2 Control Panel
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system control buttons and
status indicators. These wires have been bundled together in a ribbon cable to
simplify the connection.
Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the Control Panel PCB (printed
circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both connectors. Pull all
excess cabling out of the airfl ow path.
The LEDs inform you of system status. See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and
the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.
6-3 System Fans
The 1012C-MRF employs two sets of 4-cm counter-rotating fans to provide cooling.
Each fan unit is made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite
directions. This counter-rotating action generates exceptional airfl ow and works to
dampen vibration levels. The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level
sensed in the system, which results in more effi cient and quieter fan operation. Fan
speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see Chapter 7). Each fan in a set has its
own separate tachometer.
Note: It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed for the
airfl ow to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.
