Setting up the server

Use the instructions in the Gateway 7450R Rackmount Installation Guide that came with the server to assemble the server.

You should prepare a safe working environment before assembling the server by following these guidelines:

Important Keep the boxes and packing material. If you need to send the server to Gateway for repairs, you must use the original packaging or your warranty may be voided.

■Obtain an adequately rated uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A UPS protects against AC line spikes, power interruptions, and other power fluctuations that may damage the server.

■Protect the server from extreme temperature and humidity. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, heater ducts, or other heat-generating objects.

■Route external cables carefully to make sure they do not block air vents or impede airflow.

■Make sure that the inlet air temperature within the rack cabinet remains below the specified limit of 40° C (104° F).

■Keep the server away from equipment that generates magnetic fields, such as unshielded stereo speakers. Even a telephone placed too close to the server may cause interference.
