Chapter 1: Introduction
1.5 Server Installation and Setup
The server is shipped with the onboard processor and the motherboard installed in the
chassis. Several steps are necessary to begin using your server. You must add memory,
mount the hard disk drive, and mount the system in place.
Unpacking the System
Inspect the box in which the system was shipped and note if it was damaged. If the server
itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier.
Warnings and Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B.
Adding Components to your System

Installing Mounting Brackets
The chassis includes mounting brackets that allow it to be mounted in any convenient space
in the work environment.
1. Install the brackets, using two screws through the holes in each bracket to secure the
bracket to the chassis.
2. Secure the brackets to the surface where you want the server to be mounted.
