2. Unpack the server components as needed.
3. Complete a parts inventory before you install each server component by following these steps:
a. Locate the inventory list for your server.
b. Ensure that you received all the parts that you ordered.
Note: Your order information is included with your product. You can also obtain order
information from your marketing representative or the IBM Business Partner.
If you have incorrect, missing, or damaged parts, consult any of the following resources:
v Your IBM reseller.
v IBM Rochester manufacturing automated information line at 1-800-300-8751 (United States only).

Determining and marking the location in the rack for the 8348-21C
system
You might need to determine where to install the system unit into the rack.
Procedure
1. Read the Rack safety notices (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8hbf/
racksafety.htm).
2. Determine where to place the system unit in the rack. As you plan for installing the system unit in a
rack, consider the following information:
v Organize larger and heavier units into the lower part of the rack.
v Plan to install units into the lower part of the rack first.
v Record the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) locations in your plan.
Note: The server is two EIA units high. An EIA unit is 44.55 mm (1.75 in.) in height. The rack
contains three mounting holes for each EIA unit of height. This system unit, therefore, is 89 mm (3.5
in.) high and covers six mounting holes in the rack.
