Protecting Your CD Drive

To keep your CD drive working properly:

m Position your server so that when the tray opens, it doesn’t bump into anything.

m Do not leave the disc tray open. If dust gets on the lens of the CD-ROM drive, the drive

may have problems reading your discs.

m Do not put anything (for instance, a cup) on top of the tray when it is open.

m Do not force the tray open by hand. In an emergency, you can use an opened paper clip

in the tiny hole near the drive to eject a disc.

m Do not wipe the lens with a paper towel or other abrasive surface. If you need to clean

the lens, see an Apple-authorized service provider for a lens cleaner.

You may want to open the tray and take out your disc before shutting down.

Power Supply

The power supply in your computer is a high-voltage component and should not be opened
for any reason, even when the computer is off. If the power supply needs service, contact
your Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.

Cleaning Your Equipment

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

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

in any openings.

m 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.
