28 Chapter 3 Installing Your Server in a Rack
Preparing the Server for Installation
If possible, work with another person as you prepare and install the server in a rack.
Follow these steps to prepare the server hardware for installation.
1 Unpack the server from its box and place it on the table.
Follow the instructions in the booklet Xserve G5 Quick Start to unpack the server.
2 At the back of the server, write down the serial number from the server’s back panel.
You will need the server’s serial number to log in when you first set up the server
software.
3 Remove the protective faceplate from the server’s front panel by unscrewing the
thumbscrews at each side of the faceplate and lifting it off.
Set the thumbscrews aside.
4 Remove any clear plastic covering the front or top of the system.
5 Do not remove the small plastic protector in the optical drive slot. Leave this protector
in place until the system is secured in the rack.
Protective faceplate Remove the two shipping screws.
There is one screw on either
side of the server.
Remove the four thumbscrews that hold the protective faceplate
in place, and remove the faceplate by lifting it straight up.
