Safety Guidelines
Warning To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
- Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
- Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
- Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay
particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
Warning To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
- Observe local occupation health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual handling.
- Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the chassis during installation or removal. The
server is unstable when not fastened to the rails. When mounting the server in a rack, remove the
power supplies and any other removable module to reduce the overall weight of the product.
Caution To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in) of clearance at the front and
back of the server.
Caution The server is designed to be electrically grounded (earthed). To ensure proper operation, plug the AC
power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.

be serviced only by a trained and qualified service technician.

the part or contact your customer service representative:
– The power cable or plug is damaged.
– An object has fallen into the product.
