Planning the Server Installation
Server Warnings and Cautions
Before installing the server, ensure you understand the following warnings and
cautions:
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:
•
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 the power supply to disconnect power to the
equipment.
CAUTION:
Protect the server 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 keeps the
system in operation during a power failure.
