The DIGITAL Server family represents DIGITAL’s
continued commitment to Uncompromising
Quality, backed by award-winning Customer
Service and Support. The following procedures
will help you easily set up your server’s
hardware and software.
Before You Begin
Select a suitable area for server and rack assembly and
use. Ensure that the location:
■ Is free from excessive heat, dust, and direct sunlight
■ Allows at least 30 inches of clearance at the rear of
the rack and 60 inches at the front of the rack for
rack models
■ Allows at least 7 inches of clearance on all sides for
proper air flow around pedestal models
■ Is in accordance with local and regional electrical
regulations governing the installation of Information
Technology Equipment by licensed electricians
See “Technical Specifications” in your System Reference

If you do not wish to install the server yourself, contact
your DIGITAL authorized service provider. A Customer
Service Technician can install the server for you.
WARNING
Use extreme care when unpacking your server.
Due to its weight, two people are required to
unpack it. Failure to use two people might violate
certain safety regulations and can result in severe
personal injury or equipment damage.
