About This Manual

This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC technicians.

It provides information for the installation and use of the SuperServer 6016T-

6RFT+/6016T-6RF+. Installation and maintenance should be performed by expe-

rienced technicians only.

Manual Organization

Chapter 1: Introduction

The fi rst chapter provides a checklist of the main components included with the

server system and describes the main features of the X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+

serverboard and the SC819TQ-R700U chassis, which comprise the SuperServer

6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

This chapter describes the steps necessary to install the SuperServer into a rack and

check out the server confi guration prior to powering up the system. If your server

was ordered without processor and memory components, this chapter will refer you

to the appropriate sections of the manual for their installation.

Chapter 3: System Interface

Refer here for details on the system interface, which includes the functions and

information provided by the control panel on the chassis as well as other LEDs

located throughout the system.

Chapter 4: System Safety

You should thoroughly familiarize yourself with this chapter for a general overview

of safety precautions that should be followed when installing and servicing the

SuperServer 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+.
