Preparation Procedures
The access panels can be removed while the server is turned on without causing system
shutdown. Auxiliary power (+5V) will remain in the exposed areas.
WARNING: Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R Servers are capable of producing energy levels
that are considered hazardous.
WARNING: To completely remove all power from the system, you must disconnect the power
cord from the server. In systems with multiple power supplies, you must disconnect all the
power cords to completely remove power from the system.
IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to turn off the server to replace hot-plug devices such as hot-plug
power supplies.
Before beginning any of the removal and replacement procedures for non-hot-plug devices:
1. Power down the server.
2. Disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the AC outlet(s), then from the server.
3. Disconnect all external peripheral devices from the server.
4. If the server is in a rack-mount configuration, you must remove the server from the rack
and place it on a sturdy table or workbench to perform some removal and replacement
procedures. Refer to the Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R Setup and Installation Guide
for instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, you must take
precautions to provide for rack stability and safety. Heed all cautions and warnings throughout
the installation instructions that come with the server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not attempt to remove the server from the
rack by yourself. A minimum of two people are required to remove the server from the rack.
