Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperWorkstation 7048A-T
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 processor and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processor, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on
installing specific components.
The 7048A-T may be employed either as a tower or mounted in a rack as a 4U
rackmount chassis. If using it as a tower unit, please read the Server Precautions
in the next section before using the system for the first time.

Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the system itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the workstation. 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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

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.
