CAUTION
If the server has been running, any installed processor(s) and heat sink(s) may be hot. Unless you
are adding or removing a hot-plug component, allow the system to cool before opening the covers.
To avoid the possibility of coming into contact with hot component(s) during a hot-plug
installation, be careful when removing or installing the hot-plug component(s).
CAUTION
To avoid injury do not contact moving fan blades. If your system is supplied with a guard over the
fan, do not operate the system without the fan guard in place.
Rack Mount Warnings
The equipment rack must be anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from tipping when a
server or piece of equipment is extended from it. The equipment rack must be installed according
to the rack manufacturer's instructions.
Install equipment in the rack from the bottom up, with the heaviest equipment at the bottom of the
rack.
Extend only one piece of equipment from the rack at a time.
You are responsible for installing a main power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main
disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire unit,
not just to the server(s).
To avoid risk of potential electric shock, a proper safety ground must be implemented for the rack
and each piece of equipment installed in it.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
CAUTION
ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all
procedures at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground -- any unpainted metal surface -- on
your server when handling parts.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by
their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board
component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but
not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
