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 low-profile server, and any weight on top of the case could
damage these components.
