Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5015A-EHF
up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have
the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes
that your 5015A-EHF system has come to you with the processor and memory
preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, pro-
cessor, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each
step for details on installing specifi c components.

Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5015A-EHF 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 5015A-
EHF. 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 your chassis was shipped in should include four mounting screws, which
you will need if you intend to install the system into a rack. Please read this section
in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections
that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front
door completely (~25 inches).
