2-4 Server Installation Overview

Server Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: Before beginning to work on the rack, be sure that the
leveling jacks are extended to the floor, that the full weight of the
rack rests on the level floor, and that either stabilizers are
installed or that multiple racks are coupled together for stability.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the hot plug drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the
equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The


grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical


outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Unplug the power cord from each power supply to


disconnect power to the equipment.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and
temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power
supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage
caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system
in operation during a power failure.
CAUTION: The Rack-Mountable Compaq ProLiant Server must
always be operated with the system unit cover on. Proper cooling
will not be achieved if the system unit cover is removed.
