System Overview and Setup
This chapter provides service personnel the information necessary to set up the Intel® Server System
R2600SR L9 system. Illustrations identify and locate the system features and procedures to install the
system in a rack environment and configure the system, including updating and backing up firmware. The
system comes fully assembled, with all components necessary to be fully functional at first power-on. Once
the system is physically set up in the operating environment and updated to the latest available firmware
version, its initial configuration can begin. Configuration includes setting up user and administrator accounts,
designating network settings for local and remote connectivity, and backing up the system.
Please refer to Section 1.4 for a list of the documents available for this product family.
This chapter provides instructions for removing and installing system components considered as field
replaceable (field-replaceable units, or FRUs). The Intel
®
Server System R2600SR product family features a
modular design, allowing for serviceability at the compute node level without having to power off the entire
system. Except for the system fans, components common to all compute nodes (EIOM, SMM and PSUs) in
the system can only be serviced after the system has been powered off and AC power cords have been
disconnected from the server system.
