This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6015B-

step for details on installing specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6015B-3/6015B-T was shipped in and

note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should

fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas

where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds 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 6015B-3/6015B-T 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.
