Completing inventory for your server
Use this information to complete inventory for your server.

2. Unpack the server components as needed.
3. Complete a parts inventory before you install each server component by following these steps:
a. Locate the inventory list for your server.
b. Ensure that you received all the parts that you ordered.
Note: Your order information is included with your product. You can also obtain order
information from your marketing representative or the IBM Business Partner.

Determining and marking the location in the rack
Use this procedure to determine where to install the system unit into the rack.
To determine where to install the system unit into a rack, complete the following steps:
1.
Read the Rack safety notices (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8hbf/
racksafety.htm).
2. Determine where in the rack to place the system units. As you plan for installing the system unit in
a rack, keep in mind the following information:
v
Organize larger and heavier units into the lower part of the rack.
v
Plan to install units into the lower part of the rack first.
v
Record the EIA locations in your plan.
Note: The server is two EIA units high. An EIA unit is 44.55 mm (1.75 in.) in height. The rack
contains three mounting holes for each EIA unit of height. This system unit, therefore, is 89 mm (3.5
in.) high and covers six mounting holes in the rack.
3.
If necessary, remove the filler panels to allow access to the inside of the rack enclosure where you
plan to place the unit. For details, see Figure 1 on page 3.
