Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6047R-
E1R36L 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, pro-
cessors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each
step for details on installing speci
fi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6047R-E1R36L was shipped in and
note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should
fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer 6047R-
E1R36L. 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. Read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6047R-E1R36L 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 en-
tirety 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 suf
fi cient air fl ow and ease in servicing.
