Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 1027R-WC1NR/1027R-WC1NRT was
shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage
you should fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer 1027R-
WC1NR/1027R-WC1NRT. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is
well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds
are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the
Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 1027R-WC1NR/1027R-WC1NRT was shipped in should
include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting
screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order
given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please
read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
