Cleaning Your Equipment

Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of your server:

Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting
moisture in any openings.

Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

Cleaning the Server’s Case

To clean the case, do the following:

1

Turn off the computer completely and then disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug,
not the cord.)

2

Wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water.

Apple and the Environment

Apple recognizes its responsibility to minimize the environmental impacts of its
operations and products.

Health-Related Information About Computer Use

In most instances, you will probably set up and administer your server from a remote
location, such as a computer on the server’s network. If you work at the server rack for
extended periods, be sure to following these guidelines for avoiding muscle soreness,
eye fatigue, or other discomforts associated with computer use.

If feasible in the server location, use an adjustable chair that provides firm,
comfortable support. The back of the chair should support your lower back (lumbar
region). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your
body properly.

When using a keyboard at the server location, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your
upper arm and forearm should form an approximate right angle, with your wrist and
hand in roughly a straight line. Depending on the location of the monitor and
keyboard connected to the server, you may have to adjust the height of your chair so
that you can maintain a comfortable position. Your feet should be flat on the floor or
on a footrest.
