Chapter 2. Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your NovaScale R422-E1/R422-
INF-E1 up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable
you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick
setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory
preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard,
processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each
step for details on installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the NovaScale R422-E1/R422-INF-E1 was shipped
in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you
should fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the NovaScale R422-E1/
R422-INF-E1. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated.
You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the
Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the NovaScale R422-E1/R422-INF-E1 was shipped in should include two
sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you
will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to
complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this
section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the
sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~63 cm/~25 inches).
Leave approximately 76 cm (30 inches) of clearance in the back of the rack to
allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
