Before You begin
Congratulations on your purchase.
With the arrival of your new system, you
are probably eager to assemble the computer and have it operating. This
section helps you:
•
Assemble the system
•
Connect the monitor and keyboard
•
Start up the system
Carefully read and follow these instructions to ensure that your system
operates correctly.
Setting up the system
Before you begin, you need to find and prepare the space the server will
occupy.
•
Prepare a clean, flat, and firm surface for the server. Allow at least
three inches at the rear of the chassis for cabling and air circulation.
•
Protect the server from extreme temperature and humidity. Do not
expose the computer to direct sunlight, heater ducts, and other
heat-generating objects.
•
Keep the system away from equipment that generates magnetic
fields. Even a telephone placed too closely to the system may
cause interference.
•
Protect the system against AC power spikes by using a 3-prong,
115-V or 230-V (depending on the voltage supplied in your
locality) power cord, and an AC surge control power strip. The
system includes a TAC400 power supply. The power supply ships
with a single module and can support up to two modules. The
system requires a separate wall outlet for each power supply
module. If both modules are installed, the power supply provides
N+1 redundancy and hot-swap capability.
