Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when setting up
your computer:
The system can be used anywhere the temperature is suitable for people. However, rooms
with humidity over 70 %, and dusty or dirty areas are not appropriate. In addition, do not
expose the server to any temperatures over +30 °C or under +10 °C.
Make sure that the cables connecting the server to peripheral devices are not tight.
Make sure that all power and connection cables are positioned so that they are not trip
hazards.
When you save data to your server‘s hard disks or to a floppy disk, they are stored as
magnetic information on the media. Make sure that they are not damaged by magnetic or
electromagnetic fields.
Because the electronics in your computer can be damaged by jarring, no mechanical devices
should be placed on the same surface as the server. This is especially important for impact
printers whose vibrations could damage the hard disk.
Please take care to ensure a free air flow to the server at all times. Do not block the ventilation
slots of the server case and particularly the power supplies. An insufficient air flow may
damage the server and / or it’s components.
ATTENTION
In order to fully separate the server from current, the power cord must be removed from the wall
outlet.
ATTENTION
Safety instruction for upright devices: To ensure stability, the floor stands must be turned
outwards.

At the front of the case, you can find the neccessary controls like power button, reset button and the
HDD Leds. Press the power button one time briefly in order to boot the server.
