Setting Up The Hardware; Converting To A Rackmount Server - Gateway 9510 User Manual

Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Server

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 an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with surge protection for protection
■
from power outages and power spikes.
Warning
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.

Your server comes with a 3-wire AC power cords fitted with the correct
plug style for your region. If these plugs do not match the connector
on your UPS or wall outlet, do not attempt to modify the plugs in any
way. Use a UPS or wall outlet that is appropriate for the supplied
