Having Trouble?

This chapter contains hardware-specific information that can be helpful if
you are having trouble with your Power Challenge or Challenge L deskside
system.
This section gives you some basic guidelines to help keep your hardware
and the software that runs on it in good working order.

Hardware Do's and Don'ts

To keep your system in good running order, follow these guidelines:
• Do not enclose the system in a small, poorly ventilated area (such as a
closet), crowd other large objects around it, or drape anything (such as
a jacket or blanket) over the system.
• Do not connect cables or add other hardware components while the
system is turned on.
• Always remove the key from the front panel switch before shutting the
drive door or minor damage may result.
• Do not leave the front panel key switch in the Manager position.
• Do not lay the system on its side.
• Do not power off the system frequently; leave it running over nights
and weekends, if possible. The system console terminal can be powered
off when it is not being used.
• Do not place liquids, food, or extremely heavy objects on the system or
keyboard.
