Server Installation 2-1
Chapter 2 Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your NovaScale R422/R422-INF server
up and running. Following these steps, in the order given, should enable you to have the
system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your
system has come to you with the processors and memory pre-installed. If your system is not
already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to
the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the NovaScale R422/R422-INF 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.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the NovaScale R422/
R422-INF. 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 Mounting Considerations
in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the NovaScale R422/R422-INF server was shipped in should include two sets of
rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install
the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation
process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you
begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely 63,5 cm (~25 inches).
Leave approximately 76,2 cm (~30 inches) of clearance in the back of the rack to
allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
