7IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Precautions for Server and Network Products
In addition to the general precautions described earlier in this chapter, be sure to observe the following precautions when operating server and network products. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire, bodily injury, and damage to the equipment.
Safety Interlocks and Enclosures To prevent access to areas containing hazardous energy levels, some servers are provided with enclosures and safety interlocks. Many Compaq servers are interlocked so that the power supply is disabled when the enclosure cover is removed. For servers provided with safety interlocks, observe the following precau- tions:
♦Do not remove enclosure covers or attempt to defeat the safety interlocks.
♦Do not repair accessories and options inside enclosed or interlocked areas of the system.Repair should be performed only by individuals who are qualified in servicing computer equipment and trained to deal with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels.
Accessories and Options
Installation of accessories and options in safety interlocked areas should performed only by individuals who are qualified in servicing computer equipment and trained to deal with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels.
Products with Casters
Products provided with casters should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product to overturn.
♦Install the power supply before connect ing the power cord to the power supply.
♦Unplug the power cord before removing the power supply from the server.
♦If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the power supplies.
Floor Standing Products
Be sure the bottom stabilizers on the equipment are installed and fully ex- tended. Ensure that the equipment is properly stabilized and supported before installing options and cards.
