IBM® xSeries 220 User’s Reference

Place the server and monitor so that nothing blocks the air vents; usually, 15 cm (6
inches) of air space is sufficient. Also, make sure that the vented air is not blowing on
someone else.

Electrical outlets and cable lengths

The location of electrical outlets and the length of power cords and cables that connect
to the monitor, printer, and other devices might determine the final placement of your
server.

When arranging your workspace:

Avoid the use of extension cords. When possible, plug the server power cords
directly into electrical outlets.

Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and other
areas where they might get kicked accidentally.

For more information about power cords, refer to the power cord information in this
on-line publication.
