Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6034H-X8R 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 pro-
cessors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully inte-
grated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to
the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specific
components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6034H-X8R was shipped in
and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage
you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
6034H-X8R. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well
ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic
fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power
outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6034H-X8R 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.
