Before You Begin
Make sure you have an adequate number of properly grounded
electrical outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options
that you intend to install.
Place your server in a location that is dry. Rain or spilled
liquids might damage your server.
Leave about 51 mm (2 in.) of space around the front and rear of
your server to allow the server's cooling system to work
properly.
Have a supply of 1 MB and 2 MB, 3.5-inch diskettes available.
You will need these diskettes later, when you install your
operating system and backup your configuration and all
important data.
Have small, flat-blade and Phillips screwdrivers available.
If you have not already done so, perform the following tasks.
Instructions are located on a separate sheet that comes with your
server.
Unpack your server.
Remove the packing material.
If you are not installing any optional hardware at this time,
connect the cables and power cord.
After you complete these tasks, return here for further instructions.
