Getting Started

This chapter describes the Toshiba M500D server and the
environmental conditions in which it is designed to operate.

Make sure you have everything

Unpack the boxes and check the contents against the T oshiba
M500D Quick Start card provided with your system.

If the server contains optional devices, those components will be
listed on the content list and your purchase order . If an y items are
missing or damaged, notify your Toshiba representative

Environmental considerations

Environmental considerations

Place the server on a level surface in a clean, dust-free, and well­ventilated area free from:

Direct sunlight

❖

V ibration

❖

Liquids and corrosive chemicals

❖

CAUTION: If you spill liquid into the server, turn it off,
unplug it from the AC power source, and let it dry out
completely before turning it on again. If the server does not
operate correctly after you turn it back on, contact a Toshiba
authorized service provider.

Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such

❖

as large motors or speaker phones
Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of

❖

temperature change such as air conditioner vents, fans, or
heaters

Extreme heat, cold, or humidity . Use the server within the

❖

following range of ambient conditions:

T emperature: 50° F to 95° F (10º C to 35º C)
Relative humidity: 30% to 80% RH (no condensation)

If the server is exposed to conditions that could result in

❖

condensation accumulating on the server’ s cabinet or it’s
internal components, wait one to two hours before operating
the server .

Getting Started

Environmental considerations

HINT: To inspect the server for moisture, remove the side
panel. For instructions on removing the side panel, see
“Removing the side panel” on page 25.

CAUTION: Condensation can corrode server components
and short-circuit it’ s electrical circuits if the unit is on. Av oid
exposing the server to condensation during use and storage.

Allow suf ficient space around the serv er and other equipment to
allow for installation and maintenance.
