Server warnings and cautions

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, disconnect the power cord to remove power from the server. Pressing the Power On/Standby button does not shut off system power completely. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.

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:

  • Never reach inside the chassis while the system is powered up.

  • Perform service on system components only as instructed in the user documentation.

CAUTION:

Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the server in operation during a power failure.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION:

To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.

CAUTION:

To prevent improper airflow and insufficient cooling that can lead to thermal damage, observe the following:

  • Do not operate the chassis without the access panel, baffles, or blanks installed.

  • Do not operate the server without the baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed.
