CAUTION:
Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
Server warnings and cautions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
disconnect the power cord to remove power from the server. Pressing the Power On/Standby button
does not shut off system power completely. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry
remain active until AC power is removed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
