I. Introduction

1-5. Preparation

1. Unpack your server, but do not connect the power cord.

IMPORTANT

Most servers use an AT power supply that has a fixed On and Off switch located on the front. This server uses an ATX power supply that is normally off until an electrical signal is given to the power supply through a momentary switch located on the front of the server. There is always a standby power in the power supply for ATX power supply features to work. Therefore removing the power cord is necessary to prevent electrical shocks when working on the server components.

2.Unlock the padlock if one is used. This server is equipped with a lock- able panel to prevent unauthorized access. Open the side panel.

3.Install final server components such as CPU, memory, hard disk drives, and expansion cards. Use this hardware reference guide along with your motherboard’s User’s Manual in order to complete the installations.

4.Connect a keyboard and a mouse (purchased separately).5.Connect a VGA-compatible monitor (purchased separately).6.Connect a printer to the parallel port if desired.7.Connect the server to a network. (An optional network card is needed.)

8.Set the power supply input voltage to either 115V for 110V-120V areas or 230V for 220V-240V areas.

CAUTION

The voltage must be set correctly or damage may occur.9.Connect the included power cord to the server’s power supply.

10.Connect the server to a grounded (three pronged) AC power source such as a UPS or power strip (preferably with surge protection).

WARNING

This server is designed for connection to a grounded (earthed) outlet. To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your server, do not bypass the grounding plug.
