Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the system 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.

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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next sec-
tion.

The box the system was shipped in may include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and mounting screws needed for installing the system into a
rack (optional kit). 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
