Handling your computer equipment

Follow these guidelines for handling your server and its components:

m When setting up your server, place components on a sturdy, flat surface, and

carefully follow all setup instructions.

m When connecting or disconnecting a cable, always hold the cable by its

connector (the plug, not the cord).

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.
