1.4 Server Installation and Setup
The server is shipped with the onboard processor and the motherboard installed in the
chassis. Several steps are necessary to begin using your server. You must add memory,
install the disk drive, and mount the system in place.
Unpacking the System
Inspect the box in which the system was shipped and note if it was damaged. If the server
itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier.
Warnings and Precautions
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power
surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B.
Adding Components to your System
•
• Memory: If your system is not already fully integrated with system memory, refer to
Chapter 2 for details on compatible types of memory and the installation procedure.
•
• Drives and Storage: To add storage capabilities to your server, see Chapter 2.
•
• Input/Output: See Chapter 3 for I/O ports and connect them as needed.
•
• Software: See Chapter 4 for description and procedures for installing software, including
drivers and monitoring programs.
Installing Mounting Brackets
Optional brackets (MCP-290-10111-0B) allow the server to be mounted in any convenient
space in the work environment.
1. Install the brackets using two "#6-32UNC*4.5L" screws through the holes in each bracket
to secure the bracket to the chassis.
2. Secure the brackets to the surface where you want the server to be mounted.
