This document is a Hardware Installation Card for the DECserver 700 (including models 700-08 and 700-16), printed on January 20, 1992.
It provides step-by-step instructions for the physical setup and initial verification of the server, covering:
- Checking the contents of the box for all included components (e.g., power cord, software license, rack-mount kit).
- Verifying the installation site readiness (e.g., power socket, necessary cables).
- Placing the server, either on a desktop (by attaching server feet) or in a rack (by installing nuts and brackets).
- Connecting device cables to the server, with specific notes for the DECserver 700-08 regarding a V24/RS-232-C adapter if needed.
- Connecting the Ethernet port for Standard, 10BaseT, or ThinWire Ethernet, detailing switch positions and connection methods (including the need for a Media Access Unit for ThinWire).
- Connecting power to the server.
- Verifying correct server operation by observing the 7-segment display and System OK LED, with a table explaining different status indicators and troubleshooting steps (referring to the "DECserver 700 Site Preparation and Maintenance" manual for further action).
