Setup 42

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:

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.

Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one

component is extended for any reason.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:

At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack

can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might

become unstable when being moved on its casters.

Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle

the rack from both sides.

WARNING:

When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is adequately

secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.

Server warnings and cautions

WARNING:

This server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the

equipment:

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. HP recommends that a minimum of two people are required

for all rack server installations. A third 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; it is unstable
when not fastened to the rails.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the

internal system components to cool before touching them.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,

remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby

button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal

circuitry remain active until AC/DC power is removed.

CAUTION:

Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a

regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused

by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

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.
