or loss of system reliability.
Carefully unwrap the server and set it upright on the work surface.

Installing a Stand-alone System
A-Class servers are compact in design and can be installed on table or desk tops in the
same manner as any standard Personal Computer (PC).
Heating and cooling conditions must be met for the system to function at peak efficiency.
Attention must be paid to system access. There must be room for external connections on
the rear of the server and there must be ready access to an electrical outlet with the
correct electrical output. These environmental requirements are found in the section
titled, A-Class Server Site Preparation.
When you have installed the server and are ready to connect external devices, refer to
the,External Connections section.
To power up and boot the server, refer to the section titled, A-Class Server Power Up and
Boot Procedures.
