Interlock Switch

WARNING:
hazardous energy, the equipment is provided with a safety interlock. Do not
try to defeat this safety interlock. When the access cover is removed, the
power supply is disabled until the cover is properly replaced.
All Compaq ProLiant Servers contain a built-in interlock switch. This feature:
Automatically turns the power off when you remove the server cover
ensuring your personal safety.
Protects thermally-sensitive components by providing ideal air flow
throughout the unit; therefore, removing this cover turns the power off
to prevent any undesirable temperature conditions that could result in
damage to the equipment.
Although the interlock switch prevents access to the power supply, PCI and
EISA slots, processor boards and DIMM expansion, it does not limit access to
the hot-pluggable drives. Do not attempt to bypass or defeat this device.
