alterations.
4. Check inside the server for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or
other liquid, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
5. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
6. Make sure that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered
with.

System reliability guidelines

Review the system reliability guidelines to ensure proper system cooling and reliability.
Make sure the following requirements are met:
• When the server comes with redundant power, a power supply must be installed in each power-supply
bay.
• Adequate space around the server must be spared to allow server cooling system to work properly. Leave
approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place any
object in front of the fans.
• For proper cooling and airflow, refit the server cover before you turn the power on. Do not operate the
server for more than 30 minutes with the server cover removed, for it might damage server components.
• Cabling instructions that come with optional components must be followed.
• A failed fan must be replaced within 48 hours since malfunction.
• A removed hot-swap drive must be replaced within two minutes after removal.
• A removed hot-swap power supply must be replaced within two minutes after removal.
• Every air baffle that comes with the server must be installed when the server starts (some servers might
come with more than one air baffle). Operating the server with a missing air baffle might damage the
processor.
• All processor sockets must contain either a socket cover or a processor with heat sink.
• When more than one processor is installed, fan population rules for each server must be strictly followed.

Working inside the server with the power on

You might need to keep the power on with the server cover removed to look at system information on the
display panel or to replace hot-swap components. Review these guidelines before doing so.
Attention: The server might stop and loss of data might occur when internal server components are
exposed to static electricity. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist
strap or other grounding systems when working inside the server with the power on.
• Avoid loose-fitting clothing, particularly around your forearms. Button or roll up long sleeves before
working inside the server.
