Selecting a Site
The server operates reliably in a typical office environment.
Choose a site that is:
Near grounded, three-pronged power outlets.
NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 VAC. The system cannot be
used on a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC. For other
international sites, this means three-pronged power outlets
applicable for the electrical code of the region.
Be sure the power service connection is through a properly
grounded outlet.
Clean, dust-free, and well ventilated. Every side ventilating openings kept free of
obstructions. Away from sources of heat, vibration or physical shock.
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise produced by
electrical devices (such as air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio
and TV transmitters, and high-frequency security devices)
Spacious enough to provide at least ten inches (25 centimeters) in front of the
system, five inches (13 centimeters) behind the system and three inches (eight
centimeters) on each side of the system for proper cooling, airflow, and cable
clearance.
Make sure to leave enough space behind the server (three
inches - eight centimeters).
Not doing so may result in overheating and damaging the
server.
Easily accessible for server maintenance and installation of server upgrades.
