Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
2028TP-DTR/DTTR/DTFR 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 specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the 2028TP-DTR/DTTR/DTFR server was shipped in
and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should
file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 2028TP-DTR/DTTR/DTFR
server. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid
areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You
will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 2028TP-DTR/DTTR/DTFR 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.
