2. Server Installation
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get the SGI Rackable C2108-TY10 operational.
Unpack the System
Inspect the shipping container that the SGI Rackable C2108-TY10 was shipped in and note if it
was damaged in any way. If the server shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier who
delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack that supports the weight, power requirements, and
environmental requirements of the SGI Rackable C2108-TY10 server. It should be situated in a
clean, dust-free environment that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise, and
electromagnetic fields are generated. Place the server rack near a grounded power outlet. Refer to
“Warnings and Precautions” on page 8.
Prepare for Setup
The shipping container should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and
the mounting screws that you will use to install the system into a rack.
Read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.
Choose a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25
inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient
airflow and ease in servicing.
