Before You Begin

5.3.1 System Reliability Considerations

Before you begin to replace parts:
•
Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines specified in Safety
Information (Multi-Language) on page v. These guidelines will ensure your
safety while working with the Color Controller C-80 and its options.
•
Ensure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for the server, monitor, and any options that you intend to install.
•
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
•
Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.
Warning:
Before performing any hardware maintenance or repair, turn off the
Color Controller C-80 and all peripheral devices. Disconnect all external
cables and power cords
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, verify that:
•
The side cover is in place during normal operations.
•
There is space around the Color Controller C-80 to allow its cooling system to
work properly. Leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear of
the server.
•
Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions provided
with the adapters.
•
A failed fan is replaced as soon as possible, to prevent possible damage to the
boards.
