Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
7043L-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 SuperServer 7043L-8R system has
come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system
is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processors, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for
details on installing specific components. The 7043L-8R may be employed
either as a tower or mounted in a rack as a 4U rackmount chassis. If using
it as a server, please read Server Precautions in the next section and then
skip ahead to Section 2-5.
2-2 Unpacking the 7043L-8R
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 7043L-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 SuperServer 7043L-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 generated. You
will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and
Server Precautions in the next section.

The box the SuperServer 7043L-8R 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.
