This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6123L-8R/

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.

ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields
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 section.

The box the SuperServer 6123L-8R/6123L-iR 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 minimum amount of time. Please read
