Server Warnings And Cautions; Rack Warnings And Cautions - HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 User Manual

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power
source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the
building's branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA
locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using
common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, disconnect the power
cord to remove power from the server. Pressing the Power On/Standby button does not shut off system
power completely. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power
is removed.
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:
Protect the from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This device
protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the in
operation during a power failure.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION:
To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before
installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting
procedure.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server
in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Rack warnings and cautions

WARNING:
When all components are removed, the server weighs 21 kg (46.30 lb). When all components are
installed, the server can weigh up to 41 kg (90.39 lb).
Before configuring your rack solution, be sure to check the rack manufacturer weight limits and
specifications. Failure to do so can result in physical injury or damage to the equipment and the facility.
