Before you install the rackmount server system, ensure:
•
All cables you plan to connect to the rackmount system are in place and clearly
labeled:
Terminal data cables
Telephone cables
Network cables
•
You meet the specifications and environmental conditions listed in the system owner’s
guide. For more information about planning and preparing the installation site for a
computer network for free-standing system, refer to the Site Environmental

•
The system is located in an area (see Figure 2-1) that gives 61 cm (24 in) clearance
from the rear of the cabinet and 91 cm (36 in) from the front of the cabinet for
ventilation and servicing.
