Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6014P-8/6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82 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
system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors,
system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each
step for details on installing specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the server 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 6014P-8/
6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free
area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. 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 6014P-8/6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82 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.
