Before You Begin; Unpacking The Equipment - Intergraph InterServe 9400 System Setup

2

Before You Begin

Read this chapter before you attempt to set up an InterServe 9400. In addition:
Contact the local Intergraph support office if any items you ordered are missing or damaged.
If you use non-Intergraph cables with the system, ensure that they are shielded and terminated
on both ends. Intergraph-supplied cables are shielded to prevent excessive electromagnetic
interference (EMI).
If using an external power source with your system, such as an AC distribution box or an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS), review the documentation delivered with the power
source for information about its capabilities.
If you need to return equipment for repair, you must ship it in Intergraph-supplied packaging
to get warranty service.
Follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid personal injury and damage to the
system hardware.
If you are installing the system into a rack, note the following.
Set up the Intergraph rack using the documentation delivered with the rack. Become familiar
with the rack enclosure before installing the system hardware into it.
Do not push on or lean against the rack.
The rack's front and side stabilizer feet must be extended at all times.

Unpacking the Equipment

The InterServe 9400 is shipped in 3 corrugated boxes strapped to a pallet. The contents of the
boxes are as follows:
System box—Contains the InterServe 9400 base unit (see the following figure).
Parts box—Contains the keyboard, mouse, and key (for the drive access door); Windows NT
Server operating system (compact disks, floppy diskettes, and documentation), if ordered;

If you ordered a monitor from Intergraph Computer Systems, it is shipped separately from the base
