Apple Workgroup Server 8550 - Manual (Page 82)

m Turn off your server and all its components before connecting or
disconnecting any cables to add or remove any component. Failure to do so
could seriously damage your equipment.
m Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port do not join
with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the
connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector
correctly in relation to the port.
m Take care not to spill any food or liquid on the server, keyboard, mouse, or
other components. If you do, turn your server off immediately and unplug
it before cleaning up the spill. Depending on what you spilled and how
much of it got into your equipment, you may have to bring your equipment
to an Apple-authorized service provider.
m Protect the server and its components from direct sunlight and rain or
other moisture.
m Keep all ventilation openings clear and unobstructed. Without
proper air circulation, components can overheat, causing damage or
unreliable operation.
Handling the monitor
Follow these procedures for handling a monitor:
m Turn down the screen brightness control if you leave the server turned on
for extended periods. If the brightness is not turned down, the image on the
screen could “burn in” and damage the screen.
You can also use a “screen-saver” program, which dims or varies the image
on the screen when the server has been idle for a specified period of time.
These programs are available from independent suppliers and user groups.
m Make sure that the ventilation openings on the server and the monitor are
clear and unobstructed.
m If there is interference on the monitor’s screen or on a television or radio
near your server, move the affected equipment farther away.
