Tools Required
A few items are needed to install or remove the components in this server.
•
Phillips (cross) screwdriver
•
Standard (flat) screwdriver
•
Antistatic wrist strap
Preparation
1. Unpack your server, do not connect the power cord.
IMPORTANT:
Most servers use an AT power supply that has a fixed ON
and OFF switch located on the front. This server uses an ATX power supply
that is normally OFF until an electrical signal is given to the power supply
through a momentary switch located on the front of the server. There is
always a standby power in the power supply in order for ATX power supply
features to work, and therefore removing the power cord is necessary to
prevent electrical shocks when working on the server components.
2. Unlock the padlock if one is used. This server is equipped with a lock-
able front door to prevent unauthorized access. Open the side panel.
3. Install final server components such as CPU, Memory, Hard Disk Drives,
expansion cards. Use this hardware reference guide along with your
motherboard manual in order to make these installations.
4. Connect a Keyboard and Mouse (purchased separately)
5. Connect a VGA-compatible monitor (purchased separately)
6. Connect a printer to the parallel port if desired.
7. Connect server to network (an optional network card is needed)
WARNING:
To prevent electrical shock or fire, be sure not to plug tele-
communications/telephone cables into the network RJ45 connector in
the server if one is installed.
8. Set the power supply input voltage to either 115V for 110V-120V areas
or 130V for 120V-140V areas.
CAUTION:
The voltage must be set correctly or damage may occur.
9. Connect the included power cord to the server’s power supply.
10. Connect the server to a grounded (three pronged) AC power source such
as a UPS or power strip (preferably with surge protection).
WARNING:
This server is designed for connection to a grounded (earthed)
outlet. To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your server, do not
bypass the grounding plug.
