8506284.book Page 119 Thursday, July 13, 2000 11:43 AM Managing the Server 6 Avoiding power source problems Surge suppressors, line conditioners, and uninterruptible power supplies can help protect the server against power source problems. Surge suppressors During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into the server can increase far above normal levels and cause data loss or system damage.
8506284.book Page 120 Thursday, July 13, 2000 11:43 AM Line conditioners A line conditioner protects the server from the small fluctuations in voltage from an electrical supply. Most systems can handle this variation (line noise) without problems. However, some electrical sources include more line noise than normal. Line noise can also be a problem if the server is located near, or shares a circuit with, a device that causes electromagnetic interference, such as a television or a motor.
8506284.book Page 121 Thursday, July 13, 2000 11:43 AM Using Check Disk in Windows NT Bad sectors are parts of a hard drive or diskette that will not hold data. A lost allocation unit is a group of sectors that has lost its place in the table that the operating system uses to locate files. Check Disk checks the hard drive for bad sectors or lost allocation units and lets you fix them. Use Check Disk from once a week to once a month, depending on how often you use the server.
8506284.book Page 122 Thursday, July 13, 2000 11:43 AM Backing up files Regularly backing up your files protects you from losing data and lets you keep fewer files on your hard drive. Back up old files to a large capacity disk drive or tape drive and delete the files from your hard drive. You can use the software that came with your tape backup drive or your large capacity disk drive to back up the files. You can also back up files by running the Backup utility that came with your operating system.
