Arranging Your Workspace

To get the most from your server, arrange both the equipment you

use and your work area to suit your needs and the kind of work

you do. Your comfort is of foremost importance, but light sources,

air circulation, and the location of electrical outlets also can affect

the way you arrange your workspace.

Comfort

Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, here are

a few guidelines to help you find a position that suits you best.

Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue. A

good chair can make a big difference. The backrest and seat should

adjust independently and provide good support. The seat should

have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust the

seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are

either flat on the floor or on a footrest.

When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor

and your wrists in a neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a

light touch on the keyboard and your hands and fingers relaxed.

You can change the angle of the keyboard for maximum comfort by

adjusting the position of the keyboard feet.
