Safety: Before You Remove the Access Cover
Before removing the access cover for any reason, observe these safety guidelines.
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server.
2. Turn off the server by pressing the power button on the front of the chassis. Then unplug the
AC power cord from the chassis or wall outlet.
3. Label and disconnect all peripheral cables and all telecommunication lines connected to I/O
connectors or ports on the back of the chassis.
4. Provide some electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to chassis ground—any unpainted metal surface—when handling components.
Warnings and Cautions
These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the access cover to access components
inside the server. Only a technically qualified person should integrate and configure the server.
WARNINGS
The power button on the front panel DOES NOT turn off the AC power.
To remove power from server, you must unplug the AC power cord
from the wall outlet or the chassis.
Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone,
and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the
power cords, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems
attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or
equipment damage can result.
Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside the
power supply. There are no user-serviceable parts inside it; servicing
should be done by technically qualified personnel.
