Installing or Replacing Server Components

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Statement 1029

Warning Class 1 laser product.

Statement 1008

Caution When handling server components, wear an ESD strap to avoid damage.

Tip You can press the Identification button on the front panel or rear panel to turn on a flashing Identification LED on the front and rear panels of the server. This allows you to locate the specific server that you are servicing when you go to the opposite side of the rack. You can also activate these LEDs remotely by using the Cisco IMC interface. See the “Status LEDs and Buttons” section on page 3-2for locations of these LEDs.
