This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer

5010H/5010E 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 5010H/5010E

system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each

step for details on installing specific components.

Unpacking the SuperServer 5010H/5010E

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5010H/5010E 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

5010H/5010E. 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. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

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.
