Apple 8550 technical specifications Handling the monitor

mTurn off your server and all its components before connecting or disconnecting any cables to add or remove any component. Failure to do so could seriously damage your equipment.

mNever 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.

mTake care not to spill any food or liquid on the server, keyboard, mouse, 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 bring your equipment to an Apple-authorized service provider.

mProtect the server and its components from direct sunlight and rain or other moisture.

mKeep all ventilation openings clear and unobstructed. Without proper air circulation, components can overheat, causing damage or unreliable operation.

Handling the monitor

Follow these procedures for handling a monitor:

mTurn down the screen brightness control if you leave the server turned on for extended periods. If the brightness is not turned down, the image on the screen could “burn in” and damage the screen.

You can also use a “screen-saver” program, which dims or varies the image on the screen when the server has been idle for a specified period of time. These programs are available from independent suppliers and user groups.

mMake sure that the ventilation openings on the server and the monitor are clear and unobstructed.

mIf there is interference on the monitor’s screen or on a television or radio near your server, move the affected equipment farther away.
