WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by HP should attempt to repair this equipment.
Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to
make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board.
Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
CAUTION: Whenever installing hardware or performing maintenance procedures requiring access
to internal components, it is recommended that all server data be backed up to avoid loss.
IMPORTANT: Review the specifications of a new component before installing it to make sure it is
compatible with the server. When you integrate new components into the system, record its model
and serial number, and any other pertinent information for future reference. After completing any
removal or replacement procedure, run the diagnostics program to verify that all components
operate properly.
