Setting up the hardware
To make sure that your working environment is safe:
■ Use a clean, dry, flat, stable surface for your server. Allow at least 6 inches at the rear
of the server for cabling and air circulation.
■ Use a grounded (three-prong) surge protector. A surge protector helps protect against
AC power fluctuations. For additional protection from power outages, we recommend
that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
■
Avoid subjecting your server to extreme temperature changes. Do not expose your
server to direct sunlight, heating ducts, or other heat-generating objects. Damage
caused by extreme temperatures is not covered by your warranty. As a general rule,
your server is safest at temperatures that are comfortable for you.
■
Keep your server and magnetic media away from equipment that generates magnetic
fields, such as unshielded stereo speakers. Strong magnetic fields can erase data on
both diskettes and hard drives. Even a telephone placed too close to the server may
cause interference.
Warning Your server comes with a 3-wire AC power cord fitted with
the correct plug style for your region. If this plug does not
match the connector on your surge protector, UPS, or wall
outlet, do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Otherwise you may damage the server or create a fire
hazard. Use a surge protector, UPS, or wall outlet that is
appropriate for the supplied AC power cord.
Important Keep the server boxes and packing material in case you
need to ship the server.
