national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices
used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified
grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the
same power source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the
building's branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style
plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for
this purpose. HP does not recommend using common power outlet strips for the server.

Identifying rack server shipping carton contents

Unpack the server shipping carton and locate the materials and documentation necessary for
installing the server. All the rack mounting hardware necessary for installing the server into the
rack is included with the rack or the server.
The contents of the server shipping carton include:
• Server
• Power cord
• Hardware documentation, documentation CD, and software products
• Rack-mounting hardware
In addition to the supplied items, you might need:
• Hardware options
• Operating system or application software
• PDU

Installing hardware options

Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For hardware option installation
information, refer to the option documentation. For server-specific information, see
(page 39).

Installing the server into the rack

Refer to the installation instructions that ship with the rack kit to install the server into the rack.

Installing the cable management arm

Refer to the installation instructions that ship with the rack kit to install the cable management
arm.

Powering on and configuring the server

To power on the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
While the server boots, RBSU is automatically configured to prepare the server for operating
system installation.
To manually configure the utilities, press the F9 key when prompted during the boot process to
change the server settings using RBSU. The system is set up by default for the English language.
NOTE: If an array controller has been added or is embedded in the system, the ORCA utility
provides a default RAID configuration based on the size and number of hard drives installed.
For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility
User Guide located on the documentation CD.
