Links take you to sections where you can find more detailed information about 
the respective steps:
Ê First of all, carefully read the safety instructions in "Important information" on

damage and check whether the items delivered correspond to the details on 
the delivery note (see "Unpacking the server" on page 42).

information:" on page 9); print out the PDF files if required.

the rack" on page 43).

Ê Connect the system to the mains (see "Connecting the server to the mains" 
on page 55).

the server (see section "Controls and indicators" on page 59).
