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

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.

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.

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.
