HPE ProLiant ML30

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating
UPS. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes
and keeps the server in operation during a power failure.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION: To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server
data before installing or removing a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or
troubleshooting procedure.
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.
Rack warnings and cautions
WARNING: When all components are removed, the server weighs 6.12 kg (13.49 lb). When all
components are installed, the server can weigh up to 17.60 kg (38.80 lb).
Before configuring your rack solution, be sure to check the rack manufacturer weight limits and
specifications. Failure to do so can result in physical injury or damage to the equipment and the
facility.
WARNING: The server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,
do the following:
• 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. The server weighs more than 6.12 kg (13.49 lb), so at least
two people must lift the server into the rack together. An additional person may be required to
help align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack.
• Adequately stabilized the rack before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one
component at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended.
• Do not stack anything on top of rail-mounted component or use it as a work surface when
extended from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, observe the following
precautions:
• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
