Server warnings and cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings
and cautions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
the equipment:
•
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding
plug is an important safety feature.
•
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet
that is easily accessible at all times.
•
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect
power to the equipment.
•
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or
pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to
the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to
cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the
access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner
results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
Preparation procedures
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, perform one
or more of the following procedures:
•
Extend the server from the rack.
If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, telco,
or third-party rack cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to
support the server and gain access to internal components.
