Acer Altos G530

Quick Start User's Guide

Thank you for buying an Acer Server Platform.

The following information will help you assemble

your Acer Server Platform and install components.

This guide and other supporting documents are located on the web at

http://global.acer.com/support/index.htm

If you are not familiar with ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures

used during system integration, please see the Acer Altos G530 User's Guide,

Installing the DIMM memory

Notes and Cautions:

1. You must install the correct DIMMs to avoid possible

damage to the mainboard's DIMM sockets. The

mainboard requires DDR2-400 registered compliant

DIMMs.

2. When a single DIMM is used, it must be installed in

the socket labeled DIMM 1B.

3. Population order: 1B, 1A, 2B, and 2A

4. Memory in DIMM 2B and 2A must be populated in pairs.

5. The DIMM size, speed and manufacturer must be the

same within a bank.

6. Memory sizing and configuration is guaranteed only for

qualified DIMMs approved by Acer.

Installing the four-bay

HDD cage

The Altos G530 accepts the following HDD cages:

- Hot-plug SATA/SCSI HDD cages

- Easy-swap SATA/SCS HDD cages

The main difference between a hot-plug and easy-swap

HDD cage is the presence of a backplane board on the

rear side of the hot-plug HDD cage.

To install the DIMM:

Removing the front bezel

1. Locate the system keys (if necessary) and unlock

the system lock on the bezel door.

2. With your finger, slightly bend the plastic retention tabs

to release the latches (1).

3. Gently pull and detach the bezel from the chassis (2).

Installing the heat sink-fan assembly

1. Align the HSF assembly to the processor.

2. Using the screwdriver, tighten the heat sink's four

screws to secure it to the mainboard.

3. Connect the CPU fan cable to its

mainboard connector.

Note: The fan should face the DIMM module's direction.

Installing a hard disk

A. Install a hard disk on the carrier

Install a hard disk on the hard disk carrier (1),

then secure it with the four screws

that came with the carrier (2).

B. Install the hard disk carrier

1. Insert the hard disk carrier into the

cage with the lever still extended.

2. Make sure that the drive is properly

inserted before closing the lever,

then push the lever back until it

clicks into place.
