Setup 26
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a
regulating uninterruptible power supply. 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: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or
removed. Operating the server
in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling
that can lead to thermal damage.
