Appendix  B

 

The above model is certified only as a component for use with other equipment, where the 
suitability of the combination has been determined by a Nationally Recognized Testing 
Laboratory.

Handling Your Computer Equipment

Follow these guidelines for handling your computer and its components: 

m When the server is removed from its rack, set it on a sturdy, flat surface.

m When connecting or disconnecting a cable, always hold the cable by its connector (the 

plug, not the cord).

m Turn off your server before connecting or disconnecting a cable for a monitor or a serial 

device. Failure to do so could damage your equipment or cause an interruption in the 
server’s operation.

Certain components and cables—hard disks, a VGA monitor, FireWire, Ethernet, and USB 
devices—are designed to be installed or removed while the server is turned on and 
operating.

m Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port do not join with reasonable 

ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that 
you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

m Take care not to spill any food or liquid on the server or other components. If you do, 

turn your server off immediately and unplug it before cleaning up the spill. Depending on 
what you spilled and how much of it got into your equipment, you may have to arrange 
for an Apple-authorized service provider to inspect or repair the server.

m Protect the server and its components from direct sunlight and rain or other moisture.

m Keep all ventilation openings clear and unobstructed. Without proper air circulation, 

components can overheat, causing damage or unreliable operation.

Important  

Do not put a monitor or any other device on top of the server. Essential 

components are installed in this server, and any weight on top of the case could damage 
these components.
