ProLiant CL380 Warnings
and Precautions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the
hot-plug drives and the internal system components to cool before touching
them.
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 each power supply to disconnect power to the
equipment.
CAUTION:
Compaq recommends that you protect your system from power
fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power
supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power
surges and voltage spikes and allows time for the system to operate after a
power failure. A UPS is designed to allow a graceful system shutdown after a
power interruption rather than an unexpected shutdown with files open.
CAUTION:
The system must always be operated with the access panels on.
Proper cooling will not be achieved if the access panels are removed.
