You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6015B-UR/6015B-U/6015B-NTR/
6015B-NT was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself
shows damage you should fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

U/6015B-NTR/6015B-NT. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well
ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are
generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to
read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
