Server Internal Maintenance

Internal maintenance must only be undertaken by suitable qualified service personnel.

Warning

: Do not operate the server with any covers removed as the air flow through the unit

may be compromised leading to overheating.

used or battery incorrectly installed. Contact your supplier for further instructions.

Any alterations to the product’s specification, including additional/alternative components, BIOS
changes, overclocking, etc., may invalidate the warranty or impact the server’s performance.
Additionally, such changes or modifications could cause equipment no longer to comply with the
relevant EMC regulations, and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If in doubt, please
contact your supplier.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

When handling electronic assemblies, take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) causing
damage. Precautions should include the wearing of an ESD protective wrist strap and using antistatic
bags for electronic assemblies when not installed in a server.
