To prevent electrostatic damage:
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
workstations.
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Server warnings and cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
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 electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
•
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
•
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the server.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
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.
Preparation procedures
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform one or
more of the following procedures:
•
“Power down the server” (page 25)
If you must remove a server from a rack or remove a non-hot-plug component from a server,
first power down the server.
•
“Extending the server from the rack” (page 25)
If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party
rack, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain access
to internal components.
For more information about telco rack solutions, refer to the RackSolutions.com website
•
“Removing the server from the rack” (page 26)
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or server location in the rack creates awkward
conditions, remove the server from the rack.
•
“Removing the access panel” (page 27)
If you are servicing internal components, remove the access panel.
