Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
2028TR-HTR/HTFR/H72R/H72FR 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 2028TR-HTR/HTFR/H72R/H72FR 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
2028TR-HTR/HTFR/H72R/H72FR 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 2028TR-HTR/HTFR/H72R/H72FR 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.
