Installing the Server
These topics describe how to install the server into a rack equipped with square mounting holes.
If you are installing the server into a rack equipped with round mounting holes, see “Determine
Correct Rackmount Hardware” on page 36.
Note - If the rackmount kit came with its own instructions, use the instructions instead of the
instructions in this chapter. After performing the server installation, proceed to “Powering On
the Server for the First Time” for first-time power on.
