Installation Preparation
1. Before proceeding with the installation, ground yourself with a
suitable anti-static wrist strap to reduce the risk of damage to
your equipment.
2. Open your server’s chassis by following the maintenance
instructions that came with your equipment.
3. You must first decide which type of WebReboot installation you
would like to make with each server. Two options are available:
• Installation using a PCI slot
• Installation without using a PCI slot
An overview of each type of installation is provided on the
following two pages.
4 Installation
Option 1 - Installation Using a PCI Slot (Recommended)
Servprise recommends using the External PCI Slot Cover
Adapter to enable quick and easy connections at the rear of the
server for the WebReboot. Of course, the drawback to this
installation is that it requires an available PCI slot. To use this
installation type, please continue to Installation With PCI Slot
on page 6.
