Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6014H-i2/6014H-i/6014H-Xi 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 SuperServer
6014H-i2/6014H-i/6014H-Xi 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 SuperServer 6014H-i2/6014H-i/6014H-Xi
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 deliv-
ered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
6014H-i2/6014H-i/6014H-Xi. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area
that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and elec-
tromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a
grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in
the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6014H-i2/6014H-i/6014H-Xi 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 mini-
mum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you
begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
