Installing the components
WARNING: The server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment:
• Reduce the weight of the server by removing the hard drives and power supplies before
installing the server into the rack.
• At least two people are required to lift the server during installation or removal.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
Before installing front or rear components into the chassis, review chassis bay numbering for each
component. For slot numbering information, see the quick setup instructions.
Based on the total number ordered and the planned configuration, install the following components:
• Nodes
• Power supplies
• System fans
For more information, see the appropriate chassis setup and installation guide and the node installation
instructions.
