Operation
System Overheating
Cooling Vents
Improper cooling can lead to card and system damage and may void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
To ensure proper cooling and undisturbed airflow through the system always operate the
system in a horizontal position. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings at the sides of the
system. Keep the fresh air intake at the right
side of the chassis completely clear. Make sure that
the fresh air supply is not mixed with hot exhaust from other devices. Make sure that all slots
are populated with PCIe cards or filler cards.
Product Damage
High humidity and condensation on card surfaces causes short circuits.
Do not operate the system outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the system is
completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power. Do not start the
system below 0
°
C unless it is an extended-temperature model.
System Overheating
If you set the fan speed manually through the Board Management Controller (BMC), constantly
monitor the system temperature to prevent overheating.
While operating the system ensure that the environmental and power requirements are met.
Injuries or Short Circuits
To avoid damage or injuries, always check that there is no more voltage on the line that has
been disconnected before continuing your work.
