SuperWorkstation 7039A-I User's Manual

2.1 Overview

This chapter provides advice setting up your system. If your system is not already fully
integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to Chapter 4 for details on installing
those specific components.
Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent such
damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), it is important to use a grounded wrist strap, handle
all PCBs by their edges and keep them in anti-static bags when not in use.

2.2 Preparing for Setup

The box in which the system was shipped should include the rackmount hardware needed to
install it into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.

Choosing a Setup Location

The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door completely
(~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow
sufficient space for airflow and access when servicing.
This product should be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment
rooms, service closets, etc.).
This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2
of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

General Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B.
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power
surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
