6 Quick Start Guide
Select Site
WARNING
The push-button on/off power switch on the front panel of the server
does not turn off the AC power. To remove AC power from the server,
you must unplug the AC power cord from the server or wall outlet.
CAUTION, ESD precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and
other parts. This server can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD.
However, we recommend doing all procedures in this guide only at an
ESD-protected workstation. If one is not available, you can provide some
ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis
ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—when handling
components.
CAUTION, use grounded outlet
Make sure that the power service connection is through a properly grounded
outlet.
The server operates reliably within normal office environmental limits. Select a site that meets
these criteria:
•
Near a properly earthed, grounded, three-pronged power outlet
In the United States and Canada: a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V.
∼
In other geographic areas: a properly earthed, grounded outlet in accordance with the local
electrical authorities and electrical code of the region.
•
Clean and relatively free of excess dust.
•
Well ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilating openings on the server
kept free of obstructions.
•
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
•
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and noise caused by electrical devices such as
elevators, copy machines, air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV
transmitters, and high-frequency security devices.
•
Access space provided so the server power cords can be unplugged from the power supply or
the wall outlet; this is the only way to remove AC power from the server.
•
Clearance provided for cooling and airflow.
