Server blade warnings and cautions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of shock or injury from high-current electrical energy, do not remove
the server blade access panel and then install the server blade into the enclosure.
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 blade with the access panel removed. Operating the server
blade in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
CAUTION:
When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the server blade
and/or the system. However, it might be necessary to leave the server blade powered up when
performing other operations, such as hot-plug installations or troubleshooting.
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.
Installing an HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosure
Before performing any server blade-specific procedures, install an HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
The most current documentation for the server blade and other BladeSystem components is available on
the
