Chapter 2. Server setup road map

This chapter provides a general road map to guide you through setting up your server.

The server setup procedure varies depending on the configuration of the server when it was delivered. In some cases, the server is fully configured and you just need to connect the server to the network and an ac power source, and then you can turn on the server. In other cases, the server needs to have hardware features installed, requires hardware and firmware configuration, and requires an operating system to be installed.

The general procedure for setting up your server is:

1.Unpack the server package. See “Server package” on page 7.

2.Install any required hardware or server option. See the related topic in Chapter 6 “Installing, removing, or replacing hardware” on page 83.

3.Connect the Ethernet cable and power cord(s) to the server. See “Rear view of the server” on page 19 to locate the connectors.

4.Turn on the server to verify operation. See “Turning on the server” on page 53.

5.Review the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) settings and customize as needed. See “Using the Setup Utility program” on page 55.

6.Configure RAID and install the operating system and basic drivers. See “Using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program” on page 69 and “Configuring RAID” on page 71.

7.Install any additional drivers needed for added features. Refer to the instructions that come with the hardware option.

8.Configure Ethernet settings in the operating system by referring to the operating system help. This step is not required if the operating system was installed using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program.

9.Check for firmware and driver updates. See “Updating the firmware” on page 80.

10.Install other applications. Refer to the documentation that comes with the applications that you want to install.
