Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
5014C-M8 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 5014C-M8 system has come to you with
the processor 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 specific
components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5014C-M8 was shipped in and
note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage, you
should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
5014C-M8. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ven-
tilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields
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 5014C-M8 was shipped in should include two
sets of rail assemblies, six 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 minimal amount of time.
