Preparing to install components
Selecting a place to work
Work on your server in an area that:
■
Is clean (avoid dusty areas)
■
Is a low-static environment (avoid carpeted areas)
■
Has a stable surface on which to set your server
■
Has enough room to place all of your server parts
■
Is near a grounded outlet so you can test your server after installation
■
Is near a telephone (in case you need help from Gateway Technical
Support). The telephone must be directly connected to a telephone jack
and cannot be connected to your server.
Gathering the tools you need
Some tools and supplies that you may need to work on your server are:
■
A notebook to take notes
■
A Phillips screwdriver
■
A small flat-blade screwdriver
■
Small containers to store various types of screws
■
A grounding wrist strap (available at most electronic stores)
