Setting Up The Hardware; Installing The Dl1000 Appliance In A Rack; Using The System Without A Rack - Dell DL1000 Deployment Manual

Setting up the hardware

The appliance ships with a single DL1000 system. Before setting up the appliance hardware, see the
Getting Started Guide for your system that shipped with the appliance. Unpack and set up the DL1000
Appliance hardware.
NOTE: The software is pre-installed on the appliance. Any media included with the system must be
used only in the event of a system recovery.
To set up the DL1000 hardware:
1. Rack and cable the DL1000 system.
2. Turn on the DL1000 system.

Installing the DL1000 appliance in a rack

If your system includes a rail kit, locate the Rack Installation Instructions supplied with the rack kit. Follow
the instructions to install the rails and the DL1000 in the rack.

Using the system without a rack

You can use the system without the server rack. When you are using the system without a rack, ensure
that you follow these guidelines:
• The system must be placed on a solid, stable surface that supports the entire system.
NOTE: The system must not be placed vertically.
• Do not place the system on the floor.
• Do not place anything on top of the system. The top panel may deflect under the weight and cause
damage to the system.
• Ensure adequate space around the system for proper ventilation.
• Ensure that the system is installed under the recommended temperature conditions as stated in the
Technical Specification – Environmental Section of Dell DL1000 Appliance Owner's Manual at
Dell.com/support/home.
CAUTION: Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damage to the system or physical
injury.
