14 Sun Fire 280R Server Owner’s Guide • January 2001
About the Parts Shipped to You
Your system is “configured-to-order,” which means that most internal options that
you ordered are pre-installed at the factory. However, if you ordered options that are
not factory-installed, these will be shipped to you separately.
You will receive a rackmounting kit (standard) or kits (ordered separately) to install
your system(s) into a rackmounting cabinet. See the Sun Fire 280R Server Setup and
Rackmounting Guide for a list of parts in the rackmounting kit. You may also have
separately ordered one or more rackmounting cabinets with accompanying
documentation (ordered separately). Verify that you have received everything you
ordered.
In addition, you should have received the media and documentation for all
appropriate system software (ordered separately). Verify that you have received
everything you ordered.
Note – Inspect all shipping cartons for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping
carton is damaged, request that the carrier's agent be present when the carton is
opened. Keep all contents and packing material for the agent's inspection.
Using the Setup and Rackmounting Guide
Use this Owner’s Guide with the Sun Fire 280R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide
to install your server. The Setup and Rackmounting Guide is shipped with your
system and describes procedures for rackmounting the server, and for attaching all
cords and cables needed to get the server up and running.
Tools Required for Setup and Rackmounting
You will need to locate these tools before you rackmount the server in a standard
EIA-compliant rack:
■ A Phillips No. 2 screwdriver and a flat-blade screwdriver
■ An adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts on the slide bracket assemblies and
to adjust the feet on the rackmount cabinet’s anti-tip legs (if necessary)
■ Allen wrenches to remove the rackmount cabinet’s side panels (if necessary)
■ A spirit level to level the rackmount cabinet front-to-back and
side-to-side (if necessary)
