Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your A+ Workstation 4021A-T2
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, memory
etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing
specifi c components.
Although the 4021A-T2 was designed to be used in a tower (workstation) confi gura-
tion, it may also be mounted in a rack as a 4U rackmount server system. If using
it as a tower unit, please read the precautions in the next section and then skip
ahead to Section 2-5.
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 workstation itself shows damage you should fi le a damage claim
with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the 4021A-T2. It should 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.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the workstation was shipped in may include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and mounting screws needed for installing the system into a
rack (optional kit). 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.
