Checking for damage to the packaging

Inspect the packaging container for evidence of mishandling during transit. If the packaging container is damaged, photograph it for reference. Save the packaging container and packing materials in the event you need to package the server for reshipment.

Selecting a site

Before unpacking and installing the system, select a suitable site for the system for maximum efficiency. Consider the following factors when choosing a site for the system:

Near a properly grounded, three-pronged power outlet

Note:

In the United States and Canada: a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 100- 120 V and for 200-240 V.

In other geographic areas: a properly grounded outlet in accordance with the local electrical authorities and electrical code of the region.

Clean and dust-free

Stable surface free from vibration

Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilation openings on the server kept free of obstructions

Secluded 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.

Maximum ambient air temperature should not exceed 35°C (95°F).

Access space provided so the server power cords can be unplugged from the power supply or the wall outlet; this is the only way to remove AC power from the server.
