Chapter 2. Server setup road map
This chapter provides a general road map to guide you through setting up your server.
The server setup procedure varies depending on the configuration of the server when it was delivered. In
some cases, the server is fully configured and you just need to connect the server to the network and an ac
power source, and then you can turn on the server. In other cases, the server needs to have hardware devices
installed, requires hardware and firmware configuration, and requires an operating system to be installed.
Server setup procedure
The following list is a general procedure for setting up your server:
1. Unpack the server package. See “In the box” on page 7.
2. Install any required hardware or server options. See the related topics in Chapter 5 “Replacing
hardware” on page 45.
3. If you have a rail kit, you can install the server into a standard rack. See the documentation that comes
with the rail kit.
4. Connect the Ethernet cables and power cords to the server. See “Rear view of the server” on page
14 to locate the connectors.
5. Turn on the server to verify operation. See “Turning on the server” on page 5.
6. Review the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) basic input/output system (BIOS) settings and
customize as needed. See “Using the Setup Utility program” on page 29.
7. Configure RAID and install the operating system and device drivers. See “Using the ThinkServer
EasyStartup program” on page 35 and “Configuring RAID” on page 38.
8. Install any additional drivers required for added features. Refer to the instructions that come with
the hardware option.
9. Configure Ethernet settings in the operating system by referring to the operating system help. You can
skip this step if the operating system was installed using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program.
10. Check for firmware updates. To update the firmware, go to http://www.lenovo.com/support and follow
the instructions on the Web page to check for the latest level of firmware, such as the BIOS updates
and device drivers.
11. Install management applications and any other applications. Refer to the documentation that comes
with the applications that you want to install.
Turning on the server
The server can be turned on in one of the following ways:
• After you finish unpacking and setting up the server, connect it to an ac power source. Press the power
button on the front panel to turn on the server. See “Front panel” on page 12. The server needs about 90
seconds for the ThinkServer Management Module (TMM, also known as BMC) to initialize whenever you
connect the server to an ac power source. If you press the power button on the front panel during this
period, the server will not start immediately; it will start after the TMM initialization finishes.
• You also can use the related TMM feature to turn on the server remotely through the management LAN.
