Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your A+ Server up and running.
Following these steps 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 system 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.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. 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.
The box the server 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 outlined in the sections that follow.
