Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6014A-8
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 SuperServer 6014A-8 system has come to you with the
processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully inte-
grated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the
chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specific compo-
nents.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6014A-8 was shipped in and
note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you
should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
6014A-8. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are gener-
ated. 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 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6014A-8 was shipped in should include two sets of rail
assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need
to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to
complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this
section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the
sections that follow.
