Selecting a Site
Make sure that the installation area you select has the following features:
■ Sturdy, level installation site that includes dedicated and properly
grounded circuits, air conditioning, and static electricity protection
■ 7.6-cm (3-in) clearance on all sides of server for proper ventilation
■ Separate electrical circuit for the server
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary
interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device
protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes
and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

Unpack the server, keyboard, and cables according to the instructions and
illustrations printed on the Quick Start Poster.
