Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR 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 SuperServer 6028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR 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
6028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR. 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 6028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR 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 procedure
