Server warnings and cautions

WARNING: The chassis is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
  • Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
  • Remove all installed components from the chassis before installing or moving the chassis.
  • Use caution and get help to lift and stabilize the chassis during installation or removal, especially when the chassis is not fastened to the rack.
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 personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
CAUTION: To ensure proper thermal cooling, the four server tray slots must be populated with server nodes or node blanks.
