Setting An Administrator Password - Dell PowerEdge R630 Installing Manual

Installing the Dell PowerEdge R630 Server
The rails included with the server will accommodate most square-hole racks. If these rails do
not fit the rack, the customer must provide rails or a shelf for rack installation. Also, the rails
included with the server might not work with round-hole racks. The customer can obtain rails
and/or a shelf from any distributor, for example http://www.racksolutions.com/. The
customer-provided rails and rack must be on site prior to the first day of installation.
Note:
The customer is responsible for any rack screws.
5. Attach the server to the rack.
6. Connect the power cord(s).
For more information about connecting and securing the power cable, see Connecting the
power cables and Securing the power cord of the Getting Started Guide.
