Entering General Server Data—Exercises 

IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that you set up and work within your own Server ID in order to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other server id, you will compromise your exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated to your own server id.
