WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible Server Blade malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
