If not properly installed and maintained, electrical circuitry equipment can pose dangers to both personnel

• Remove any dust from the area and keep the area around the product clear and dust-free during and
after installation.
• Wear safety glasses if you are working under conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
• This product has serviceable modules and hot-swappable power supplies. It has no other serviceable
parts inside.
Cautions
Cautions tell you how to avoid a serious loss that stops short of physical damage such as the loss of data,
time, or security. Cautions tell you what you should or should not do to avoid such losses, and the
consequences of not heeding the caution.
CAUTION: Do not power up the equipment while you install and connect the system.
If you connect the power improperly and then apply power, the cards and chassis could be damaged.
You are responsible for installing an AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect
must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire unit, not just to the
server.
