Identifying tower server shipping carton contents

Unpack the server shipping carton and locate the materials and documentation necessary for installing
the server.
The contents of the server shipping carton include:
• Server
• Power cord

• Hardware documentation and software products
In addition to the supplied items, you might need:
• Hardware options
• Operating system or application software

• PDU
• Torx T-15 screwdriver

Installing hardware options

Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options installation information, refer to the
option documentation. For server-specific information, refer to "Hardware options installation (on page

Setting up a tower server

Follow the steps in this section to set up a tower server.
1. Place the server on a flat, stable surface.
2. Connect peripheral devices to the server.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug
telephone or telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 connectors.

3. Connect the power cord to the rear of the server.
4. Connect the power cord to the AC power source.

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.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the server.

Installing the server into a rack

1. Unlock and remove the tower bezel ("Remove the tower bezel" on page 17).
2. Power down the server (on page 17).
