WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
■
Disconnect power from the server by unplugging all power cords from
either the electrical outlet or the server.
■
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.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the
internal system components to cool before touching surface areas.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Make
sure you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure.
Preparing to Install Non-Hot-Plug Options
Before installing a non-hot-plug hardware option:
1.
Back up server data.
NOTE:
In a new Compaq ProLiant DL580 server, it is only necessary to back up data after
installation and configuration is complete.
2.
Shut down the operating system as directed in the operating system
instructions.
3.
If the server is on, move the power switch to the Standby position.
4.
Verify that the first system LED on the front panel, located nearest the
Power On/Standby switch, turns amber and that all fans stop spinning.
WARNING:
Before removing the top access panel, be sure that the power
switch is set in the Standby position and that the power cord is disconnected
from the electrical outlet.
