WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the
safety information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the
installation.
Some servers contain high energy circuits, high current circuits, moving parts (such as fan
blades), or any combination of these hazards, that may be exposed if covers and access
panels are removed while the product is connected to a power source. These products are
intended to be serviced only by qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with these
hazards. Do not remove enclosures or attempt to bypass any interlocks designed to guard
against these hazardous conditions.
Remove or open the access panel.

internal system components to cool before touching them.

Packard Enterprise recommends using a slot that is electrically x8.
