Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference
(EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the
chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are
in place.
Statement 1029
Caution This system weighs approximately 190 pounds (86 kilograms) when fully loaded with components. We
recommend that you use a mechanical lift when lifting the system. Attempting this procedure alone
could result in personal injury or equipment damage. Consider temporarily removing components such
as hard drives while you move the system.
