Server Warnings and Precautions

HP ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 Server Maintenance and Service Guide
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, always
ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component outside the
rack. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any
reason. Extend only one component at a time.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure
that:
The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
The stabilizers are attached to the rack, if it is a single rack installation.
The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
WARNING: When installing the server in a telco rack, make certain that the rack frame
is adequately secured to the building structure at the top and bottom.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, at least
two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack
weighs 115 kg (253 lb), is over 2.1m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being
moved on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it rolls down the ramp from
the pallet, but handle the rack from both sides.
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: HP servers must always be operated with the system access panel closed.
Proper cooling will not be achieved if the system access panel is removed.
