By itself, a locking cable cannot prevent unauthorized use of the server, but it
can prevent the server (and its peripheral devices if they are also secured by
locking cables) from being removed.
Installing internal devices
If you purchased additional internal drives or expansion cards for your server,
install them now (see Chapter 3 for instructions). If you don’t have internal
devices to install, go on to the next section, “Connecting a Monitor.”
Connecting a monitor
You can connect many types of monitors (often called displays) to your
server, including most standard monitors. See Appendix B, “Technical
Information,” for a complete list.
This section contains instructions for connecting most types of monitor. To
connect a monitor from a manufacturer other than Apple, refer also to the
instructions that came with the monitor.
Connecting the monitor’s power cord
Monitors have two cords to connect: a power cord and a monitor cable. To
connect the monitor power cord:
1 Place the monitor where you will be using it.
Keep in mind these considerations:
m Allow a few inches for air circulation around the server and monitor.
m Make sure the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when you’re
sitting at the keyboard.
m Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from
overhead lights and windows.
m Consult “Arranging Your Office” in Appendix A for suggestions about
locating your server equipment.
