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 the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends
from the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby
button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some
internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
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.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a
regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage
caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power
failure.
