Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6014L-M up
and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have the
system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes that
your 6014L-M system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled.
If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on
installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the server 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 rack unit that will hold the 6014L-M. 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. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in
the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The SuperServer 6014L-M does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as the
system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail package
is available if you wish to order from Supermicro. Follow the steps in the order
given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time. Please
read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined
in the sections that follow.
