Removal and replacement procedures 30
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.
• Connect the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at
all times.
• Disconnect 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 chassis.
CAUTION: Do not operate the chassis for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the chassis in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can
lead to thermal damage.
