Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperWorkstation 7038A-I
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 processor and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, 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 system was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the system itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the SuperWorkstation. 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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the
next section.
2-3 Warnings and Precautions
•
Ensure that the caster wheels on the workstation are locked.
•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the workstation
from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case
of a power failure.
•
Allow the power supply units and hot-swap SATA drives to cool before touch-
ing them.
•
To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed and all SATA
carriers installed when not being serviced.
