The server operates reliably within normal office environments. Select a site that meets
these criteria:
•
Near a properly earthed, grounded, three-pronged power outlet, as follows:
–
In the United States and Canada: a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V and a
NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V.
–
In other geographic areas: a properly earthed, grounded outlet in accordance
with the local electrical authorities and electrical code of the region.
•
Clean and relatively free of excess dust.
•
Well ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilating openings on the
server kept free of obstructions.
•
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
•
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and line 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.
•
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.
•
Clearance provided for cooling and airflow.
Caution: In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, it is recommended that you
plug your system into a surge suppressor and disconnect telecommunication lines to
your modem during electrical storms.
