This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6033P-8R
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 specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the SuperServer 6033P-8R
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6033P-8R 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
6033P-8R. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are gener-
ated. 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 6033P-8R 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 entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the
sections that follow.
