WARNING:WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to
cool before touching them.
CAUTION:CAUTION: A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor might damage system boards or other static-
sensitive devices. To prevent damage, observe antistatic precautions.
CAUTION:CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for long period with the access panel open or
removed. Operating the server in this manner results in an improper system airflow. For internal hot-plug component

trip the safety threshold. When this happens:
