This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6113L-8/ 6113L-i up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specific com- ponents.
2-2 Unpacking the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

The box the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, six (four front and two rear) rail mounting brackets and screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time.
