Installing The Server Into The Rack; Installing The Operating System - Inspur NF5280M5 User Manual

5.5 Installing the Server into the Rack

CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of
the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom
to the top.
1. Install the server into the rack. For more information, see the installation instructions
included with the Slide Rail System.
2. Connect peripheral devices to the server. For connector identification information, see
"Rear panel components" in this guide.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not
plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 connectors.
3. Connect the power cord to the rear of the server.
4. Connect the power cord to the AC power source.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at
all times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord
extends from the server.
