Safety guidelines

While troubleshooting your server, follow these safety guidelines:

Never remove the side panel while your server is turned on and while the modem
cable and the power cords are connected.

Do not attempt to open the monitor. To do so is extremely dangerous. Even if the
power is disconnected, energy stored in the monitor components can be dangerous.
Also, opening the monitor voids its warranty.

Make sure that you are grounded correctly before opening the server case. For more
information about preventing damage from static electricity, see

“Preventing static

electricity discharge” on page 29

.

After you complete any maintenance task where you have to open the server case,
make sure that you close the case, tighten any screws, then reconnect all cables
before you restart your server.

Warning

To avoid bodily injury, do not attempt to troubleshoot your server
problem if:

Power cords or plugs are damaged

Liquid has been spilled into your server

Your server was dropped

The case was damaged

Instead, unplug your server and contact a qualified computer
technician. If your server was damaged during shipment from
Gateway, contact Gateway Customer Care.
