Installation instructions

IMPORTANT!!! Do not plug the power cable in until step 5. If you plug the power in before connecting the management network cable, then the IPMI module will not initialize properly and remote management/KVM will not work.

Before you begin, please make sure you have met the basic site requirements

Back of depot
  1. Unpack the machine, install the rails, and mount in your rack as you normally would.
