Before You Begin

If you have not already done so, unpack your server. If you are not installing any optional hardware now, connect the cables and power cord. Follow the instructions on the Setup sheet that comes with your server. After you complete these tasks, return here for further instructions.

ŸMake sure you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.

ŸPlace your server in a location that is dry. Rain or spilled liquids might damage your server.

ŸLeave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear of your server to allow the server's cooling system to work properly.

ŸHave a supply of 1 MB and 2 MB, 3.5-inch diskettes available. You will need these diskettes later, when you install your operating system and backup your configuration and all important data.
