2.Install the server in a rack. See the Rack Installation Instructions that come with the server for complete rack installation and removal instructions.

Attention:

vInstall the server only in a rack cabinet with perforated doors.

vDo not leave open spaces above or below an installed server in the rack cabinet. To help prevent damage to server components, always install a blank filler panel to cover the open space and to help ensure proper air circulation. See the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for more information.

3.Connect the cables and power cords. See “Connecting the cables” on page 48 for more information.
