Drive bays.
Fan bays.
PCIe slots.
Power supply slots.
•
Do not block the ventilation openings in the server chassis.
•
To avoid thermal damage to the server, do not operate the server for long periods in any of the
following conditions:
Access panel open or uninstalled.
Air baffles uninstalled.
PCIe slots, drive bays, fan bays, or power supply slots empty.
Battery safety
The server's system board contains a system battery, which is designed with a lifespan of 3 to 5
years.
If the BIOS no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, you might need to replace the
battery. When you replace the battery, follow these safety guidelines:
•
Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
•
Do not expose the battery to a temperature higher than 60°C (140°F).
•
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of the battery in fire or
water.
•
Dispose of the battery at a designated facility. Do not throw the battery away together with other
wastes.
