Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 6027R-CDNRT+ 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 6027R-CDNRT+ 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 6027R-CDNRT+.
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 Precau-
tions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the 6027R-CDNRT+ was shipped in should include two sets of rail assem-
blies, 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.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
