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.
WARNINGS
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 65 lbs (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, 110-208 V∼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
