Chapter 3: Maintaining Your Server Caring for your server To extend the life of your server: ■ Be careful not to bump or drop your server. ■ When transporting your server, we recommend that you put it in the original packaging materials. ■ Keep your server and magnetic media away from equipment that generates magnetic fields, such as unshielded speakers. ■ Avoid subjecting your server to extreme temperatures. Do not expose your server to 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 all liquids away from your server. When spilled onto server components, almost any liquid can result in extremely expensive repairs that are not covered under your warranty. ■ Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt can clog the internal mechanisms and can cause the server to overheat. Cleaning your server Keep your server clean and the vents free from dust. Cleaning tips ■ Always turn off your server and other peripheral devices before cleaning any components. Warning When you shut down your server, the power turns off, but some electrical current still flows through your server. To avoid possible injury from electrical shock, unplug the power cords and all other cables connected to the server. ■ Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your server and other parts of your server system. Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on components. ■ Keep the cooling vents free of dust. With your server turned off and unplugged, brush the dust away from the vents with a damp cloth, but be careful not to drip any water into the vents. 18 www.gateway.com
