Overview of Server Installation
The following instructions are provided as an overview for first-time
installation of your Compaq ProLiant ML330e/ML330 server. If you have any
problems, contact your Compaq authorized reseller.
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: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure
that you are properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation
procedure. See Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.
2-2 Compaq ProLiant ML330e/ML330 Server Setup and Installation Guide
Selecting a Site
Make sure that the installation area that you select has the following features:
■ A sturdy, level installation site that includes dedicated and properly
grounded (earthed) circuits, air conditioning, and static electricity
protection
IMPORTANT: The ProLiant ML330e/ML330 server must be operated only when in an
upright, vertical position.
■ 7.6 cm (3.0 inches) clearance on all sides of server for proper ventilation
■ A separate electrical circuit for the server
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.
Unpacking the Server
Unpack the server, keyboard, and cables according to the instructions and
illustrations printed on the Quick Start poster.
