System Safety
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides safety information about the SC842 chassis. These instruc-
tions assume that you are an experienced technician, familiar with common con-
cepts and terminology.
2-2 Warnings and Precautions
You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, le a damage claim with the carrier
who delivered your system.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the chassis. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,
electrical noise and electromagnetic elds are generated.
Place the chassis near a grounded power outlet. The power supply included with
the system requires a grounded outlet.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The SC842 chassis includes mounting screws you will need to install the system
into an open (two-post) rack. Optional mounting rails are available for installation
of the chassis into a four-post rack. Part numbers for these mounting rails may
be found on the Supermicro Web site at http://www.supermicro.com/products/
chassis/4U/?chs=842. Please read this manual in its entirety before beginning the
installation procedure.
