WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Never reach inside the chassis while the system is powered up.
• Perform service on system components only as instructed in the user documentation.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or burns after removing the energy pack:
• Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the energy pack.
• Do not short external contacts.
• Do not dispose of the energy pack in fire or water.
After power is disconnected, battery voltage might still be present for 1s to 160s.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This
device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the server in
operation during a power failure.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge. For more information, refer to
"
CAUTION: To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before
installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.
CAUTION: To prevent improper airflow and insufficient cooling that can lead to thermal damage, observe the
following:
• Do not operate the chassis without the access panel, baffles, or blanks installed.
• Do not operate the server without the baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed.
CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the server and/or the system.
However, it may be necessary to leave the server powered up when performing other operations, such as hot-plug
installations or troubleshooting.
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.
Electrostatic discharge
Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A discharge of static
electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of
damage may reduce the life expectancy of the system or component.
