Check these four things before setup
A server is a small computer that stays on.
- A wall power outlet close by.
- A network cable to your router or switch.
- Room for air to move around the box.
- Only the people you trust can reach it.
If your server is an NVIDIA DGX Spark
Follow NVIDIA’s spacing[2]. The room should stay between 5 and 30 C[3]. Metric first, then a tape measure.
| Where | Metric | Imperial |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 10 cm | about 4 in |
| Sides | 2 cm each | under 1 in |
| Rear | 40 cm | about 16 in |
| Room temperature | 5 to 30 C | 41 to 86 F |
Distances from NVIDIA[2], room range from NVIDIA[3]. Inches are rounded.
The DGX Spark is one server option. The one-week install price may not cover hardware, so ask who buys it, us or you.
Consider a UPS
A UPS is a battery box that keeps the server on for a few minutes if the power drops, so it can shut down cleanly. Ask us which size fits. We have no verified price for a UPS, so we give none.
Heat is the common trouble
A small server in a hot closet can slow down or stop. If you can only find a closet, check that the room stays under 30 C and that air can move around the box.

What to do next
Bring a photo of the spot to the first call, and note the outlet and the cable. On day 1 of the one-week install we check your room, power and network. The exact days depend on your office, and your written quote governs.
The one-week install costs $1,500 as of . Requote before use. It may not cover hardware, taxes or any work after the week. Ask for the quote in writing (book page 035).
