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

telephone must be directly connected to a telephone jack and cannot be connected 
to your server.

A notebook to take notes
A Phillips screwdriver
A small flat-blade screwdriver
Small containers to store various types of screws
