Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5015M-

UR/5015M-U/5015M-NTR/5015M-NT up and running. Following these steps in the

order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum

amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with

the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrat-

ed with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter

or section noted in each step for details on installing speciﬁ c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5015M-UR/5015M-U/5015M-NTR/

5015M-NT was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself

shows damage you should ﬁ le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 5015M-UR/5015M-

U/5015M-NTR/5015M-NT. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is

well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic ﬁ elds

are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure

to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the SuperServer 5015M-UR/5015M-U/5015M-NTR/5015M-NT was shipped

in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the

mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps

in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time.

Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure

outlined in the sections that follow.
