CAUTION:
Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary
interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This
device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and
voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
CAUTION:
The Rack-Mountable Compaq ProLiant Server
must always
be operated with the system unit cover on. Proper cooling will not be
achieved if the system unit cover is removed.
Installation Sequence
Below is a brief summary of the steps you will follow to install your rack model
ProLiant 2500R server:
1. Select an appropriate site for your rack. See the Rack Planning and
Installation Guide for site selection criteria.
2. Unpack the server and rack mounting hardware.
3. Install any EISA and/or PCI expansion boards in the server. See the
options kits for detailed instructions. To make the server lighter and
more manageable, do not install drives in the server until after you load
the server into the rack.
IMPORTANT:
ISA expansion boards are installed after the System
Configuration Utility has been run (during the SmartStart portion of the
installation sequence).
4. Set switches: processor board switches, system board switches, and
SCSI ID settings.
5. Attach rack mounting hardware to the rack and to the server.
6. Slide the server into the rack.
