Completing the Installation

NOTE: Complete all the installation procedures for the internal options that you have chosen to install. Read "Safety Information".

1. Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools or loose screws are left inside the server.
2. Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the cover.
3. Place the server in an upright position, and ensure that the stabilizer feet are positioned correctly. For more information, see "Stabilizing Feet".


NOTE: It is easier to install the cover if the server is placed in an upright position.

4. Install the side cover:
a. Make sure that the cover lock (if present) is in the unlocked position.

5. If a cover lock is present, go to the back of the server and lock the cover.

You can use the cover lock and keys to secure the outside cover.

NOTE: In the United Kingdom, by law, the telephone cable must be connected after the power cord.

CAUTION: When the power-cord strain-relief bracket option is installed on the power cord, the server must be plugged to a power source that is easily accessible.


6. Reconnect the cables to the back of the server; then, plug the power cords into properly grounded electrical outlets.

7. If you have a modem or fax machine attached to the server, and you are not in the United Kingdom, reconnect the telephone line to the wall outlet and the server, and plug the power cords into properly grounded electrical outlets.

If you are in the United Kingdom, plug in the power cords first; then, connect the telephone line to the wall outlet and the server.

8. Power-on the server and all attached devices.

NOTE: To allow for air circulation, be sure to maintain the following minimum clearances around the server:

  • 102 mm (4 in.) in the front
  • 127 mm (5 in.) in the rear
  • 51 mm (2 in.) on the left and right sides

When you have completed installing the covers and cables, go to "Updating the Server Configuration".
