Performing initial system configuration

After you receive your PowerEdge system, you must set up your system in the enclosure, install the
operating system if it is not pre-installed, and set up and configure the system iDRAC IP address.

Setting up your system

1. Unpack the server module.
2. Remove the I/O connector cover from the server module connectors.
CAUTION: While installing the server module, ensure that it is properly aligned with the slot
on the enclosure, to prevent damage to the server module connectors.
3. Install the server module in the enclosure.
4. Turn on the enclosure.
NOTE: Wait for the chassis to initialize before you press the power button.
5. Turn on the server module by pressing the power button on the server module.
Alternatively, you can also turn on the server module by using:
• The server module iDRAC. For more information, see
• The enclosure Chassis Management Controller (CMC), after the server module iDRAC is
configured on the CMC. For more information, see the CMC User's Guide at dell.com/
