Dell PowerEdge R470 Quick Start Guide

Verify your shipment

Before racking the system, verify the shipment using Secured Component Verification (SCV). It is a supply chain assurance offering that enables customers to verify the PowerEdge server received matches with the manufactured configuration. SCV requires a license to be purchased (point of sale only). In order to validate components, a certificate containing the unique system component IDs is generated during the factory assembly process. This certificate is signed in the Dell factory and is stored in the system, later used by the SCV application. The SCV application validates the system inventory against the SCV certificate. To validate, download the SCV application from the Dell Support page. Enter the Service Tag, go to the Drivers and Downloads section, and search for the keyword 'SCV' to find the download link. For more information, see Secured Component Verification.

Rack the system

Your system may support static, sliding, or combo rails for racks along with Cable Management Arm (CMA) or Strain Relief Bar (SRB). See the Rail Sizing and Rack Compatibility Matrix for your system supported rail information.
