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. ATTENTION In order to fully separate the server from current, the power cord must be removed from the wall outlet. ATTENTION To ensure stability, the floor stands must be turned outwards.
