For correct cooling and air flow, always reinstall the top panel before
you turn on the server. Operating the server without the panel in place
will cause the server to overheat.

Screws are required to support the front of the server when using
the standard cabinet rails. You must support the server while
removing the front screws and while sliding the server off the cabinet
rails. If the server is not supported, damage to the server or injury
could result.
