Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8 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 6014H-8/
6014H-82/6014H-X8 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 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8 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 6014H-8/
6014H-82/6014H-X8. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is
well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromag-
netic 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 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8 was shipped in may have in-
cluded a rackmount kit consisting of 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 sec-
tions that follow.
