Server Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the hot plug drives and internal system components to cool before touching.

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.

■Install the power supply before connecting the power cord to the power supply.

■Unplug the power cord before removing the power supply from the server.

■If the system has multiple power supplies, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the power supplies

CAUTION: Be sure that the power outlet you plug your power cord into is easily accessible and located as close as possible to the equipment operator. When you need to disconnect power to the equipment, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

CAUTION: The Compaq ProLiant Server must always be operated with the system unit cover on. Proper cooling will not be achieved if the system unit cover is removed.

IMPORTANT: Because of the 100 to 120 VAC electrical rating of each power supply, some local electrical authorities may require either one 15-Ampere circuit for each power supply or one 20-Ampere circuit for each

pair of power supplies.
