If no operating system is installed, make sure that a message BOOTMGR is missing is displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, refer to Chapter 7 “Troubleshooting and diagnostics” on page 75 for detailed diagnostic information.

•Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Put removed covers and other parts in a safe place.

•If you must turn on the server while the server cover is removed, make sure that no one is near the server and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the server.

•Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions:

–Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping.

–Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

–Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy object.

–To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles.
