Chapter 2
Server Installation
This chapter outlines the procedure to install your system into a rack. If your system
is not already fully integrated with a drives, processors, or system memory refer to
the relevant chapter for details on installing components.
2-1 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box in which your server was shipped and note if it was
damaged. If the server itself shows damage, fi le a claim with the carrier.
2-2 Preparing for Setup
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should be
in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. It must be near a grounded power
outlet.
The box in which the server was shipped includes two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and mounting screws to install the system into the rack. The
installation procedure is provided later in this chapter. Please read this section and
"Warnings and Precautions" section before beginning the installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location
• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front
door completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the
back of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
