CHAPTER 3: Installation
3. Installation
3.1 Location
The location you select to install the server may greatly affect its performance.
When selecting a site, consider the following rules:
1. Install the server in a fairly cool and dry place. See
Chapter 1
for the
acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
2. Install the server in a location free from strong electromagnetic field
generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
3. Leave at least 3.9" (9.9 cm) of space at the server’s front and rear for
ventilation.
3.2 Installing the Server
Follow the instructions listed below to install the server on a desktop.
1. Place the server in a clean, flat, safe position with easy access to AC power.
2. Affix the four self-adhesive rubber feet to the server’s underside.
3. Plug the server’s AC power adapter into an available wall socket. (The green
Pwr LED on the rear panel should light.)
4. Connect cables from the network devices to the server’s front-panel ports.
(The green LNK LED should light.)
You can also mount the server vertically (for instance, on a wall). Simply use the
server’s underside as a template to measure and mark the holes’ position onto the
surface where you will install the server. Then use the two screws provided to
mount the server firmly in place.
WARNING
Install the server away from damp or wet locations, and away from very
hot surfaces. These environments can have a detrimental effect on both
the server and the cables. An ideal location is a cool, dry environment
such as a typical equipment room.
