Server setup checklist
Use the server setup checklist to ensure that all tasks that are required to set up the server have been
performed.
The server setup procedure varies depending on the configuration of the server when it was delivered. In
some cases, the server is fully configured and you just need to connect the server to the network and a
power source, and then you can power on the server. In other cases, the server needs to have hardware
options installed, requires hardware and firmware configuration, and requires an operating system to be
installed.
The following steps describe the general procedure for setting up a server.
Setup the server hardware
Complete the following procedures to setup the server hardware.
1. Unpack the server package (see
“Server package contents” on page 33).
2. Install any required hardware or server options (see the related topics in Chapter 5 “Hardware
replacement procedures” on page 37
).
3. If necessary, mount the server or install the server to an enclosure. See
“Configuration guide” on page
45
in the User Guide or Hardware Maintenance Guide.
4. Connect all external cables to the server (see
Chapter 2 “Server components” on page 17 for connectors
locations).
Typically, the following cables need to be connected:
• Connect the server to the power source
• Connect the server to the data network
• Connect the server to the storage device
• Connect the server to the management network
5. Power on the server.
