Removal and Replacement Procedures

PREPARATION PROCEDURES

Before beginning any of the removal and replacement procedures, complete the following steps:
1. Turn the computer and any peripheral devices off.
2. Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet, then from the server.
3. Disconnect all external peripheral devices from the server.

POWER SUPPLY SAFETY INTERLOCK

The Compaq ProLiant 4500 Server is equipped with a safety interlock switch to minimize the risk
of exposure to high voltage and maintain proper air flow for cooling of the processor and mass
storage devices. When the side access panel is removed, the power supply is automatically
disabled. This safety feature can be defeated with a Service Maintenance Key (Spares Part
Number 148757-001) if power is required when servicing the server with the side access panel
removed.

the Compaq ProLiant 4500 Server with the system unit cover removed and the
safety interlock defeated.
CAUTION: The Compaq ProLiant 4500 Server should always be operated with
the system unit cover on. Proper cooling will not be achieved with the system
unit cover off.
