support

hot-swap

capability,

you

can

remove

or

install

the

component

while

the

server

is

running.

(Orange

System

reliability

guidelines

To

help

ensure

proper

system

cooling

and

system

reliability,

make

sure

that

the

following

requirements

are

met:

v

Each

of

the

drive

bays

has

a

drive

or

a

filler

panel

and

electromagnetic

compatibility

(EMC)

shield

installed

in

it.

v

If

the

server

has

redundant

power,

each

of

the

power-supply

bays

has

a

power

supply

installed

in

it.

v

There

is

adequate

space

around

the

server

to

allow

the

server

cooling

system

to

work

properly.

Leave

approximately

50

mm

(2.0

in.)

of

open

space

around

the

front

and

rear

of

the

server.

Do

not

place

objects

in

front

of

the

fans.

For

proper

cooling

and

airflow,

replace

the

server

cover

before

you

turn

on

the

server.

Operating

the

server

for

extended

periods

of

time

(more

than

30

minutes)

with

the

server

cover

removed

might

damage

server

components.

v

You

have

followed

the

cabling

instructions

that

come

with

optional

adapters.

v

You

have

replaced

a

failed
