2 On-site Installation: Installing the Server
This chapter tells how to:
• Select a site
• Connect input and output devices
• Turn on the server and create installation diskettes from the Server System Configuration
Software CD
• Read and print a copy of this manual
• Exit to DOS
WARNING
The minimum server configuration weighs about 51.4 kg (113 lbs), and
the maximum one weighs close to 60 kg (132 lbs). To avoid personal
injury, have someone help you move the server. Do not attempt to lift
or move the server by holding the handles on the power supply.
Selecting a Site
The server operates reliably within the specified environmental limits (see page 30). The chosen
site must be close to a grounded power outlet applicable for the electrical code of that region. The
minimum available power requirements are described in Chapter 20, “Power System:
Description/Calculating Power Usage”.
CAUTION
Ensure that the power service connection is through a properly grounded
outlet.
The site must also be:
• Clean and dust-free
• Well ventilated and away from sources of heat
• Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise caused 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 sufficient room behind and around the server so that you can
remove AC power from it by unplugging the power cord from the AC inlet filter or wall outlet
• Away from sources of vibration or physical shock
