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: To prevent damage to electrical components, take the appropriate anti-static
precautions before beginning any installation, removal, or replacement procedure. Improper
grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
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.
