Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded antistatic wriststrap, footstrap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent electrostatic damage (ESD) when you install or service the servers.
Caution – To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can permanently disable the system or require repair by service technicians, place components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis when you work on system components.
Installation OverviewThis installation guide provides procedures that are to be performed in the following order.
1.Verify that you have received all of the components that ship with your server. See “Shipping Kit Inventory List for Both Servers” on page xv.
2.Gather configuration information for your system. See your system administrator for specific details, including these parameters:
■Netmask
■IP address for the service processor
■Gateway IP address
3.Install any optional components shipped with your system. If you have purchased other optional components such as additional memory, install them prior to mounting the server in a rack. See “Optional Component Installation” on page 3.
4.Mount the server into a rack or cabinet. See “Installing the Servers in a Rack” on page 16 for both the 1U and 2U servers. Or, if you ordered the Express rail rackmounting kit, which has the same rack rail assemblies for both servers, see “Installing the Servers in a Rack With Express Rails” on page 71.
