6 When all cables are in place, connect each one to its intended device. Important: When connecting peripheral devices, be sure to allow adequate space at the front and back of the server for proper airflow and access to the rack for servicing. 7 After all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a power source. Warning: This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your server is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug-a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug! Because you are installing the server in a rack with other equipment, be certain that the power outlet and any other equipment, such as a power strip, used with the rack is designed to carry the electrical load of multiple devices. Check the documentation for your rack for any special instructions. With the server in the rack and the cables in place, you can prepare to set up the Mac OS X Server software. Disconnecting Cables From the Server's Back Panel The compact size of the Xserve G5 system may make it difficult to disconnect a cable, such as an Ethernet network connection or a fibre channel cable, from the back panel. If you have difficulty compressing the plastic tab on the cable's connector, use a small tool such as a tiny flat screwdriver to compress the tab as you pull the connector from its socket.

Disconnecting Cables From the Server’s Back Panel
The compact size of the Xserve G5 system may make it difficult to disconnect a cable,
such as an Ethernet network connection or a fibre channel cable, from the back panel.
If you have difficulty compressing the plastic tab on the cable’s connector, use a small
tool such as a tiny flat screwdriver to compress the tab as you pull the connector from
its socket.
Warning:
This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your server is
equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding)
pin. This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet because the outlet is not grounded,
contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded
outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!
Because you are installing the server in a rack with other equipment, be certain
that the power outlet and any other equipment, such as a power strip, used with
the rack is designed to carry the electrical load of multiple devices. Check the
documentation for your rack for any special instructions.
