Setting up a tower server
1.
Connect peripheral devices to the server.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug
telephone or telecommunications connectors into NIC connectors.
2.
Connect the power cord to the rear of the server.
3.
Connect the power cord to the AC power source.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock 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.
