Server Precautions

WARNINGS

SERVER POWER ON/OFF: The push-button on/off power switch on the front panel of the server does not turn off the AC power. To remove AC power from the server, you must unplug each AC power cord from each power supply or wall outlet.

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS— POWER SUPPLY AND POWER SHARE BACKPLANE: Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside the power supply and the power share backplane enclosures. There are no user-serviceable parts inside them; servicing should only be done by technically qualified personnel.

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS— DEVICES AND CABLES: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect telecommunications systems, networks, modems, and each power cord attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.

AVOID INJURY: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server, use only a mechanical assist unit to lift it off the shipping pallet. The minimum server configuration weighs 38 kg (85 lbs); the maximum weighs 45 kg (100 lbs).

Do not attempt to lift or move the server by the handles on the power supplies.

Use only a hand-truck or other mechanical assist unit to move the server from one location to another.
