Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5015A-
L/5015A-H up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable
you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick
setup assumes that your 5015A-L/5015A-H system has come to you with the pro-
cessor and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a
motherboard, processor, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section
noted in each step for details on installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5015A-L/5015A-H 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 5015A-
L/5015A-H. 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 your chassis was shipped in should include four mounting screws, which
you will need if you intend to install the system into a rack. Please read this section
in its entirety 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).
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
•
suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
