Page 30
SuperServer SYS-222BT-DNR: Server Installation 2.1 Unpacking the System Inspect the box the server was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If any equipment appears damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Page 31
SuperServer SYS-222BT-DNR: Server Installation 2.2 Preparing for Setup The box in which the server was shipped should include the rackmount hardware needed to install it into the rack. Read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation. Choosing a Setup Location The server should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Page 32
SuperServer SYS-222BT-DNR: Server Installation Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them. When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the servers closed to maintain proper cooling. Rack Mounting Considerations Important: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.
Page 33
SuperServer SYS-222BT-DNR: Server Installation Reliable Ground A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
