4-4 Overview of Installing ProLiant 2500R Server and Hardware Options CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure. CAUTION: The Rack-Mountable Compaq ProLiant Server must always be operated with the system unit cover on. Proper cooling will not be achieved if the system unit cover is removed. Installation Sequence Below is a brief summary of the steps you will follow to install your rack model ProLiant 2500R server: 1. Select an appropriate site for your rack. See the Rack Planning and Installation Guide for site selection criteria. 2. Unpack the server and rack mounting hardware. 3. Install any EISA and/or PCI expansion boards in the server. See the options kits for detailed instructions. To make the server lighter and more manageable, do not install drives in the server until after you load the server into the rack. IMPORTANT: ISA expansion boards are installed after the System Configuration Utility has been run (during the SmartStart portion of the installation sequence). 4. Set switches: processor board switches, system board switches, and SCSI ID settings. 5. Attach rack mounting hardware to the rack and to the server. 6. Slide the server into the rack.
