have not come loose in transit.
Step Description
1. Checking the drive
bays All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. Verify that
the hard disk drive trays are inserted all the way into their bay.
2. Check the airflow Airflow is provided by six high performance fans. The system
component layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient
airflow through the 1U rack mount space. Verify that all cables in
your rack are not obstructing the chassis’s airflow.
3. Connect your
network cable(s) Plug your Network Cable(s) to both the NIC ports (or to just one of
them) located on the back of the server.
4. Connect your
keyboard and monitor Plug your keyboard and monitor to the proper ports located on the
back of the server.

Plug the two power cords from the power supply units into a high-
quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and
power surges. It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS).
