This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperWorkstation 5038ADT up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have
the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes
that your system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processor, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on
installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the system itself shows damage you should fi le a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the SuperWorkstation. It should be situated in
a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. You will also need it placed near
a grounded power outlet.
2-3 Warnings and Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the workstation
from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case
of a power failure.
• Allow the power supply units and hot-swap SATA drives to cool before touch-
ing them.
• To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed and all SATA
carriers installed when not being serviced.

SuperWorkstation 5038AD-T User's Manual
2-4 Accessing the Inside of the System
You may need to access the system periodically to perform maintenance or install
components such as hard drives. The SC732G features two removable side covers
to allow easy access to the chassis interior.
Removing the Side Covers
1. Power down the system and disconnect the power cord from the rear of the
power supply.
2. Remove the screws securing the left side cover of the chassis.
3. Slide the left cover toward the rear of the chassis.
4. Lift the left cover from the chassis.
5. Remove the screws securing the right side cover to the chassis.
6. Slide the right side cover toward the rear of the chassis
7. Lift the right cover from the chassis.
