There is generally no need to specify location / { .. } if you don't provide any specific configuration or behavior for it.

Having just:

server { 
root /some/path;
}

is enough to serve (static) files.  


If there is a request to '/'  by default nginx will try to look  for (index.html http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_index_module.html#index or any other files in defined by that directive in given order.
