Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6023L-8R 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 6023L-8R 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
6023L-8R
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6023L-8R 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
6023L-8R. 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 6023L-8R 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.
