WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:
• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack
can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might
become unstable when being moved on its casters.
• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle
the rack from both sides.
Identifying the contents of the server shipping carton
Unpack the server shipping carton and locate the materials and documentation necessary for installing the
server. All the rack mounting hardware necessary for installing the server into the rack is included with the
rack or the server.
The contents of the server shipping carton include:
• Server
• Power cord
• Hardware documentation, Documentation CD, and software products
• Rack-mounting hardware
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 42)."
Installing the server into the rack
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
1. Install the server and cable management arm into the rack. For more information, see the installation
instructions that ship with the 2U Quick Deploy Rail System.
2. Connect peripheral devices to the server. For information on identifying connectors, see "Rear panel
components (on page 13)."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug
telephone or telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 connectors.
3. Connect the power cord to the rear of the server.
