Getting familiar with important guidelines

This topic provides some guidelines that you should read and understand before using your server.

Precautions

Before you use the server, be sure to read and understand the following precautions:
• Before using the product, ensure that you read and understand the multilingual safety instructions and the
Lenovo Limited Warranty (LLW) on the Lenovo Web site at
DOCS . Reading and understanding the safety instructions reduces the risk of personal injury and damage
to your product.
• When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply the most recent firmware
updates. This step helps to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your server is ready to
function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go to
www.lenovo.com/drivers
on page 5 for more information.
• Before you install optional hardware devices, ensure that the server is working properly. If the server is not
working properly, see Chapter 6 "Troubleshooting and diagnostics" on page 125 to do basic
troubleshooting. If the problem cannot be solved, see Chapter 7 "Getting information, help, and service"
on page 131.
• Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Put removed covers and other parts in a
safe place.
• If you must turn on the server while the server cover is removed, ensure that no tools or other objects have
been left inside the server.
