WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, the installation
of options other than hot-plug power devices should be performed only by individuals who are
qualified to service computer equipment and trained to deal with products capable of producing
hazardous energy levels.
CAUTION: To maintain proper cooling, both fans must be operational.
CAUTION: Never remove both hot-plug fans from one system fan basket while the server is
powered up. Overheating and damage to hardware could result. If the appropriate Compaq
software drivers are installed, the operating system software initiates a power shutdown in
