SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Information
Important Safety Instructions
Read all caution and safety statements in this document before
performing any of the instructions.
Warnings
Heed safety instructions: Before working with the server,
whether using this manual or any other resource as a refer-
ence, pay close attention to the safety instructions. Adhere to
the assembly instructions in this manual to ensure and maintain
compliance with existing product certifications and approvals.
Use only the described, regulated components specified in this
manual. Use of other products / components will void the UL
listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will
most likely result in non-compliance with product regulations in
the region(s) in which the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off
the system AC power. To remove power from system, you must
unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the
AC power cord is unplugged before opening the chassis, add-
ing, or removing any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous elec-
trical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and com-
munication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the
power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and
modems attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise,
personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can
damage drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that
you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD work-
station. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground any
unpainted metal surface on the server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully.
They can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board
from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board
component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do
not slide board over any surface.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic
encased conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jump-
ers have a small tab on top that can be gripped with fingertips
or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If the jumpers do not
have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to
remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper

SAFETY INFORMATION
with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides
can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent
problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care
to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool used to
remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may bend or break.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2-1
2.1. Installation Assembly Safety Instructions
Guidelines
The power supply in this product contains no user-serviceable parts.
Refer servicing only to qualified personnel.
Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required. A product
with more than one power supply will have a separate AC power cord for each supply.
The power button on the system does not turn off system AC power.
To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug each AC power cord from the wall outlet or power
supply.
The power cord(s) is considered the disconnect device to the main (AC) power. The socket outlet that the
system plugs into shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GUIDELINES
2-2
SAFETY STEPS: Whenever you remove the chassis covers to access the inside of the system, follow these
steps:
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
2. Turn off the system by pressing the power button.
3. Unplug all AC power cords from the system or from wall outlets.
4. Label and disconnect all cables connected to I/O connectors or ports on the back of the system.
5. Provide some electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to
chassis ground of the system-any unpainted metal surface-when handling components.
6. Do not operate the system with the chassis covers removed.
After you have completed the six SAFETY steps above, you can remove the system covers. To do this:
1. Unlock and remove the padlock from the back of the system if a padlock has been installed.
2. Remove and save all screws from the covers.
3. Remove the cover(s).
A microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been running. Also, there may be sharp pins
and edges on some board and chassis parts. Contact should be made with care. Consider wearing protec-
tive gloves.
