Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get the system up and running. Fol-
lowing these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system opera-
tional within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system

not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, memory etc., please
turn to the chapter noted in each step for details on installing specifi c components.

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.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. 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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions
in the next section.

Preparing for Setup
The server should include the rackmount hardware needed to install the system into
the rack. 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 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).
•
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
