Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 4021M-32R 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 specifi c components.
The 4021M-32R may be employed either as a tower or mounted in a rack as a 4U
rackmount chassis. If using it as a tower unit, please read the Server 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 server itself shows damage you should fi le a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the 4021M-32R. 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 sec-
tion.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the system 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.
