Warning: You should disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the workstation and/or from
site power before attempting to access any internal components. Ensure that the power
outlet used at your site is easily accessible so you can disconnect the power cords before you
attempt to access components inside the workstation. Failure to disconnect the power cords
from the power outlet and/or workstation enclosure before accessing internal components

Caution: Care must be taken to ensure that the workstation enclosure has adequate ventilation
clearance when operating to ensure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can
occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
