Installation Steps: Overview
In this chapter you will find an overview of the steps necessary to install your
server system. Links guide you to sections where you can find more detailed
information on the individual steps:
Ê
At first, please take notice of chapter “Important Notes” on page 13ff,
especially of the "Safety" section.
Ê
Transport the server to the place where you want to set it up.
Ê
Unpack the system, check the contents of the package for visible transport
damage and check whether the delivery agrees with the details in the
delivery note (see section “Unpacking and Setting up the Server” on
page 24).
Ê
Make sure all necessary manuals (see section “Overview of the Documen-
tation” on page 1) are available; possibly print of the PDF files.
Ê
Set up the server (see section “Unpacking and Setting up the Server” on
page 24).
Ê
Cable the server. Please also refer to the section “Connecting Devices to the
Server” on page 25 and section “Hints: Connecting/Disconnecting Cables”
on page 28.
Ê
Connect the server to the line voltage (see section “Connecting the Server
to the Line Voltage” on page 26).
Ê
Make yourself familiar with the operating and indicator elements on the front
and on the rear side of the server (see section “Operating and Indicator
Elements” on page 29).
Ê
Configure and install the desired operating system and applications. To do
so, you have the following possibilities:
–
Configuring the SATA RAID controller separately or in a ServerStart
installation (see “Configuring the SATA RAID Controller” on page 34).
–
Configuring the SCSI RAID controller separately or in a ServerStart
installation (see “Configuring the SCSI RAID controller” on page 35).
