Safety Notes
Product Damage
Install PCI Express (PCIe) cards in the designated slots. Installing a card in the wrong slot
may cause card or system damage.
Installing or removing the card from the system while the system is powered up may
damage the card and the system.
When installing or removing the card from the system, power down the system first.
Data Loss
The system does not support hot swap of PCIe cards. Before opening the top cover of the
system or before installing or removing any PCIe card, make sure the system is powered
off.
Disconnect the system from any AC or DC power or turn the system board power (payload
power) off through the Board Management Controller (BMC).
For more information, refer to the SE1700 SMART Edge Server Getting Started Guide.
Card Malfunctioning
Incorrect card installation and removal may result in card malfunction or damage the PCIe
slot. Ensure PCIe cards are properly seated.

Operation

System Overheating – Cooling Vents
Improper cooling can lead to card and system damage and may void the manufacturer's
warranty.
To allow for proper cooling and undisturbed airflow through the system, always operate the
system in a horizontal position. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings at the front, rear,
or sides of the system. Keep the fresh air intake of the chassis completely clear. Make sure
that the fresh air supply is not mixed with hot exhaust from other devices.
Product Damage
High humidity and condensation on product surfaces causes short circuits.
Do not operate the system outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the
system is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power.
Do not start the system below 0°C unless it is an extended-temperature model.
