16 Sun Fire 280R Server Owner’s Guide • January 2001
■ What software do you intend to load?
Software included in the server media kit or other software products may impose
certain disk space or disk partitioning requirements. Refer to the documentation
accompanying the software to determine those requirements.
Once you have answered these questions, you are ready to begin the installation
procedure.
What to Do
1. Verify that you have received all the parts of your system.
See “About the Parts Shipped to You” on page 14.
2. Install any optional drive shipped with your system.
Many of the options ordered with your system are pre-installed at the factory. For
information about how to install other options, see the Sun Fire 280R Server Service
Manual or contact your qualified service provider. However, if you ordered a second
internal disk drive that was not factory-installed, see the section “How to Install a
Disk Drive” on page 125.
Note – Any additional options, other than the disk drives, should be installed by a
qualified service provider.
3. Install the system into the rack.
See “About System Rackmounting” on page 21 and the Sun Fire 280R Server Setup
and Rackmounting Guide for installation instructions for the rack. If the system’s slide
assembly rails are already mounted in a rack, see “How to Install the System Into the
Rack” on page 23.
4. Ensure that the system’s front panel keyswitch is in the Off position.
See “Status and Control Panel Features” on page 8.
5. Once the system is installed into the rack, connect the AC power cord to the
power inlet labeled (1) at the back of the system.
6. Attach a strain relief (if necessary) and connect the other end of the cord to a
grounded AC power outlet.
To prevent accidental or inadvertent removal of an AC power cord from its inlet, use
the strain relief. The strain relief is a plastic tie-wrap and pedestal that is installed
into the back panel of the system. Use these reliefs to manage the power cords after
you have installed the cords into the AC inlets in the server.
