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 back 
of the server for cabling and air circulation.
Use the instructions on your server’s setup poster to set up your hardware.
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. 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.
