Rack Warnings and Precautions
Before beginning these procedures, please read and understand the following
statements.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, 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 m (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, but handle it from the sides.
WARNING: A rack may become unstable if more than one component is
extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure that the
rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component outside the rack,
and extend only one component at a time.
WARNING: Never extend more than one rack drawer in a rack at a time. Doing
so could cause the rack system to become unstable and tip over.
WARNING: Before beginning to work on the rack, be sure that the leveling
jacks are extended to the floor, that the full weight of the rack rests on the level
floor, and that either stabilizers are installed or that multiple racks are coupled
for stability.
Server Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, a
minimum of two people MUST lift the server into the rack. The server weighs
about 22.6 kg (50 lb). If the unit is to be loaded above chest level, a third person
must assist in aligning the rails while the other two support the unit.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the
hot-plug drives and internal system components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: This equipment is designed for connection to a grounded (earthed)
AC outlet. The grounding type plug is an important safety feature. To avoid risk
of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable this feature.
WARNING: The rack-mountable ProLiant ML350 server must always be
operated with the system unit cover on. Proper cooling cannot be achieved if the
system unit cover is removed.
