Installing a storage server (tower)

Follow the steps in this section to set up a tower model server.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 connectors.

1. Connect network cable and any peripheral devices to the server.

2. Connect the power cord to the back of the server.

3. Connect the power cord to the AC power source.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.

• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
