2-2 Setting Up Your System
Your system ships as a stand-alone, single server pedestal unit or as a rack unit
ready to install in a rack. The pedestal system can also be converted to a rack-
mounted server unit using a rack conversion kit (not supplied). You can
purchase the kit from your dealer.
The information in this chapter pertains to both configurations. Where
differences occur between configurations, they are noted.

Selecting a Site
The system operates reliably in a typical office environment. Choose a site that
meets the following requirements.
T Install the system near two or more grounded, three-pronged power
outlets, preferably on separate electrical circuits.
Note: For the United States and Canada, this means
NEMA 5-15R outlets for 100-120 Vac or NEMA 6-15R
outlets for 200-240 Vac. For other international sites, this
means three-pronged power outlets applicable for the
electrical code of the region.
!
WARNING
Be sure the power service connection is through a properly
grounded outlet.
T The site must be clean, dust-free, and well ventilated. Keep the front and
rear ventilation openings free of obstructions and away from sources of
heat, vibration, or physical shock.
