2 Setting up the system
Removing the Server from the Box
Carefully unpack the server. Be sure to use two people to lift the server. Do not attempt to lift or move
the server by the handles on the power supplies. If you need to move the server from one location
to another, use a hand-truck or other mechanical assist unit.
WARNING
Avoid injury: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server, use only a mechanical assist unit
to lift it off the shipping pallet. The maximum server configuration weighs 30 kg.
Selecting a Site
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-compliant, 110-208V~ outlet rated for
15 amps
–
In other geographic areas: A properly grounded, earthed 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
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 anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the server when handling
components (e.g., any unpainted metal surface).
CAUTION
Grounded outlet: Make sure that the power service connection is through a properly grounded outlet.
Temperature: The range of temperatures in which the server operates when installed in an equipment
rack, must not go below 5° C (41° F) or rise above 35° C (95° F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature
can cause a variety of problems in your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the server to maintain
proper cooling. The rack must also include ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 1500 W
(5,100 BTU/hr) for the server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to the
environment in which the server will be used.
