Installation Sequence
Observe the following statements before beginning any installation
procedures.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
■ Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
■ Disconnect power from the server by unplugging the power cord from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
■ Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no
one can accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or
cable. When unplugging from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by
the plug.
CAUTION: If your server has a preinstalled operating system, prevent data loss
by configuring the server using the instructions in the following section,
“Factory-Installed Operating Systems.” If the operating system was not
preinstalled, follow the instructions in the “Operating System Purchased
Separately” section later in this chapter.
CAUTION: Before powering up the server, make sure that the power cord and
all cables have been properly connected or server data could be lost.
