Setting up the hardware
To make sure that your working environment is safe:
■ Use a clean, dry, flat, stable surface for your server. Allow at least 6 inches
at the rear of the server for cabling and air circulation.
■ Use the instructions on your server’s setup poster to set up your hardware.
■ Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with surge protection for
protection from power outages and power spikes.
■ Avoid subjecting your server to extreme temperature changes. Do not
expose your server to direct sunlight, heating ducts, or other
heat-generating objects. Damage caused by extreme temperatures is not
covered by your warranty. As a general rule, your server is safest at
temperatures that are comfortable for you.
■ Keep your server and magnetic media away from equipment that
generates magnetic fields, such as unshielded stereo speakers. Strong
magnetic fields can erase data on both diskettes and hard drives. Even a
telephone placed too close to the server may cause interference.
Converting to a rackmount server
To convert your server to a rackmount configuration, see Installing Your Gateway
960 or 980 Server into a Rackmount Cabinet .
Warning Your server comes with a 3-wire AC power cord fitted with
the correct plug style for your region. If this plug does not
match the connector on your UPS or wall outlet, do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way. Use a UPS or wall
outlet that is appropriate for the supplied AC power cord.
Important Keep the server boxes and packing material in case you
need to send the server to Gateway for service. If you
return your server in different packaging, your warranty
may be voided.
