Rack Warnings
25 kg

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
■ Observe local Occupational Safety requirements and guidelines for heavy
equipment handling.
■ Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the product during installation
or removal.
■ Remove all pluggable power supplies and modules to reduce the weight of the
product.
■ At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An
empty 42U rack weighs 115 kg (253 lb), is over 2.1 meters (7 ft) tall, and may
become unstable when being moved on its casters. Do not stand in front of the
rack as it rolls down the ramp from the pallet; handle it from the sides.
Stabilize the server by keeping the unit on the rails.
25 kg
55 lb
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
■ Always load the heaviest item first and load the rack from the bottom up. This
makes the rack “bottom-heavy” and helps prevent the rack from becoming
unstable.
■ The bottom stabilizers on the equipment must be fully extended. Be sure that
the equipment is properly supported/braced when installing options and cards.
■ Be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component
outside the rack. Extend only one component at a time. A rack may become
unstable if more than one component is extended.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not
overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
Server Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a
regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage
caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power
failure.
CAUTION: The ProLiant DL380 Server must always be operated with system unit covers on.
Proper cooling will not be achieved if the system unit covers are removed.
