AC450NX Rack Server System 3
Select a site
The server operates reliably within the specified environmental limits. Choose a site that is:
•Near a grounded power outlet
In the United States and Canada, this means a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V~ or a
NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V~.
✏NOTE
For 100-120 V~ operation see the Power System chapter in the
AC450NX Rack Server System Product Guide.
For international sites, this means a grounded power outlet applicable for the electrical
code of the region.
CAUTION
Ensure that the power service connection is through a properly grounded
outlet.
•Clean and dust-free.
•Well ventilated and away from sources of heat.
•Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise caused by electrical devices
such as air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV transmitters, and high
frequency security devices.
•Spacious enough to provide sufficient room behind and around the server so that you can
remove AC power from it by unplugging the power cord from each power supply or wall
outlet.
•Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.

4 Quick Start Guide
After unpacking the server
Inspect the shipping box for evidence of mishandling during transit. If the shipping box is
damaged, photograph it for reference. After removing the contents, keep the damaged box and the
packing materials. If the contents appear damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier
immediately.
Save the shipping boxes and packing materials to repackage the server in the event you decide to
move it to another site.
Installing the server
WARNINGS
Anchor the equipment rack: The equipment rack must be anchored to
an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more
servers are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The anchors must
be able to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs). You must also
consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack.
Main AC power disconnect: You are responsible for installing an AC
power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be
readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the
entire unit, not just to the server(s).
Grounding the rack installation: To avoid the potential for an electrical
shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding conductor
with the rack installation. If server power cords are plugged into AC
outlets that are part of the rack, then you must provide proper
grounding for the rack itself. If server power cords are plugged into
wall AC outlets, the safety grounding conductor in each power cord
provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide
additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed
in it.
Overcurrent protection: The server is designed for an AC line voltage
source with up to 20 amperes of overcurrent protection. If the power
system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more
than 20 amperes of protection, you must provide supplemental
protection for the server. If more than one server is installed in the
rack, the power source for each server must be from a separate branch
circuit. The overall current rating of a server configured with three
power supplies is under 12 amperes.

AC450NX Rack Server System 5
CAUTIONS
Temperature: When installed in an equipment rack, the operating
temperature of the server must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 35 °C
(95 °F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of
problems in your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the
front of the server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include
ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 3,150 Btus per hour for the
server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to
the environment in which the server will be used.
WARNINGS
Avoid Injury: The minimum server configuration weighs about 51.4 kg
(113 lbs), and the maximum one weighs close to 60 kg (132 lbs). To
avoid injury, we recommend that a lift be used to insert the server into
the slide assemblies in the equipment rack.

Power-on self test
Each time you turn on the server, the power LED on the front panel turns on and the power-on
self-test (POST) starts running. POST checks the I/O system board, processor system board,
keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.
During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test.
Depending on the amount of memory installed on each memory board, the test may take several
minutes.
These screen prompts and messages appear after the memory test:
Mouse initialized....
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
Do NOT press <F2>. The above message remains for a few seconds, and POST continues. The
server beeps once, and this message appears:
Operating system not found
Boot from the server configuration software CD
CAUTION
The Server Configuration Software CD contains only a limited operating

6. Follow the program options and prompts. If you need to access the Help menu, double-click
on Help or press <Alt+h>.
Copy server configuration software to diskettes
When you copy software from the CD onto diskettes, device drivers suitable for several different
operating systems are copied onto the diskettes. However, your operating system will read only
those drivers it can recognize, so you cannot usually check the directory of a diskette that is not
formatted for your operating system. Instead, you may see a message to the effect, “Disk not
formatted, do you want to format it now?” Don’t worry; the drivers for YOUR operating system
should be present on the diskette and available for you to load on the system.
1. Before starting, make sure that you have on hand several blank high-density diskettes.
2. From the CD-ROM menu bar, select Create Diskettes and press <Enter>.
3. Follow the prompts to copy the software onto the diskettes.
4. When finished, select Quit to DOS (on the CD-ROM menu bar) and press <Enter>.
5. Remove the CD from the drive.
If server won’t boot from the CD
It is possible that your server was shipped with the diskette drive or another device set as the first
boot device. If so, the server will try to boot from a diskette or other device rather than from the
CD we have provided. By pressing <Esc> during POST, you can override the boot sequence
specified in Setup by selecting a different primary boot device. This override is valid only for that
specific boot. Subsequent boots revert back to the sequence specified in Setup. If the chosen
device fails to load the operating system, the BIOS reverts to the previous boot sequence. The
<Esc> hot key is valid while the “Press <F2> key to enter Setup” message is displayed on the
screen. At the end of POST, if the <Esc> key was pressed, a pop-up boot menu is displayed. It
allows you to change the boot sequence, or to enter Setup and permanently change the sequence.
To override the boot sequence, do this:
1. Press the reset switch on the front panel to reboot the server—the CD can be in the drive or
not.
2. When POST displays this message:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP

14 Quick Start Guide
3. Press <Esc> and wait for the following boot menu to display:
OM08360
4. From the boot menu, select the CD-ROM drive, and press <Enter>.
5. When you see the following pop-up menu, press <Enter> to boot from the CD.
OM08361
The server should now boot from the CD, displaying a menu bar that includes creating diskettes,
diagnostics, reading/printing the manual, and quitting to DOS.
