Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6011D up and running. Following these steps in the order given should
enable you to have the system operational in a minimum amount of time.
This quick setup assumes that your SuperServer 6011D system has come
to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not
already fully integrated with a motherboard, 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 SuperServer 6011D
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6011D 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 SuperServer
6011D. 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 to place it near a grounded power outlet.
Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6011D 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
