and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have

memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6015B-8 was shipped in and note if
it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should fi le a
damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds 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.

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

that follow.
