7. Disconnect all remaining cables on the server’s rear panel, including
cables extending from external connectors on expansion boards.
8. Remove the server from the rack. See “Removing the Server from the
Rack” in Chapter 4, “Installing the Server.”
The system is now without power, and you can safely install your hardware
options.
Removing the Access Panel
To access the system board, processor, memory sockets, expansion slot, and
other internal components, you must remove the access panel. Observe the
following warnings and cautions.
WARNING: The system power in the ProLiant DL320 server does not
completely shut off from the front panel Power On/Off switch. Portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is
removed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server without the access panel installed because
it is required for proper airflow. Operating the server without its access panel
results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
CAUTION: Before removing the server access panel, be sure that the server is
powered down and that the power cord is disconnected from the server or the
electrical outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of damage to your system or expansion boards,
remove all AC power cords before installing or removing expansion boards.
When the Power On/Off switch is in the Off position, auxiliary power is still
connected to the PCI expansion slot and may damage the card.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure
you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure.
