Identifying the contents of the server shipping carton
Unpack the server shipping carton and locate the materials and documentation necessary for installing the
server.
The contents of the server shipping carton include:
• Server
• Power cord
• Hardware documentation, Documentation CD, and software products
In addition to the supplied items, you might need:
• Operating system or application software
• Hardware options
Installing hardware options
Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options installation information, refer to the
option documentation. For server-specific information, refer to "Hardware options installation (on page
30 )."
Setting up a tower server
To set up a tower server, follow these steps. To install the server into a rack, see Installing a server into a rack
(" Installing a server in a rack " on page 26 ).
1. Connect peripheral devices to the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug
telephone or telecommunications connectors into NIC connectors.
2. Connect the power cord to the rear of the server.
3. Connect the power cord to the AC power source.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it.
Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from
the server.
Installing a server in a rack
The procedure to install the tray in the rack is similar to the procedures to install a server in a rack. For more
