Security

Whatever the location of the server and rack, it should be secure.

m Make sure that only authorized staff members or technicians can gain access to the rack’s 

location.

m If using a server cabinet that is not in a secure room, be sure that the cabinet is adequately 

locked and that access to it is limited to authorized staff.

m Develop a plan for distributing and controlling keys to the server environment and access 

codes that allow others to manage servers over the network. Keep the plan updated with 
names of key staff and relevant emergency information and procedures.

m Store a copy of essential server access information in a safe location away from the 

server site.
