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

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

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.
