Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SERIES3800/S120T
(7045A-C3/7045A-CT) 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 system has come to you with the proces-
sors 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 specifi c components.
The 7045A-C3/7045A-CT may be employed either as a tower or mounted in a
rack as a 4U rackmount chassis. If using it as a tower unit, please read the Server
Precautions in the next section and then skip ahead to Section 2-5.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should fi le a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the SERIES3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT).
It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds 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.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the system was shipped in may include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and mounting screws needed for installing the system into
a rack (optional kit). Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation
process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before
you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
