HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 - Server Warnings and Cautions

sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are
listed or certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same
power source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired
to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.
NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose.
Using common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.
Server warnings and cautions
WARNING:
This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material
handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of
two people are required for all rack server installations. If the server is installed higher than chest
level, a third person may be required to help align the server.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable
when not fastened to the rails.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power
cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not
completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain
active until AC/DC power is removed.
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.
