WARNING: Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety
and to help protect your system and working environment from potential
damage.
WARNING: Do not expose the Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller
(PERC) S300 adapter to liquids. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or
obstruct the ventilation openings of the system in which it is installed. Do not
install the controller in a zero-clearance compartment. This could result in
overheating.
WARNING: Do not operate the controller if it has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
WARNING: The controller, like every other electronic part of a system, can be
damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded. It is
recommended that you wear a grounded antistatic strap and that the system is
unplugged before you install the controller.
CAUTION: Cable connectors must be mated carefully with the connectors on the
PERC S300 adapter. The connectors are keyed to prevent them from being inserted
incorrectly.
CAUTION: Ensure that the current RAID controller (if any) is not currently working
on any pending tasks (such as a rebuild) before it is turned off to conduct a system
upgrade.
CAUTION: During a firmware update, do not reboot the system that contains the
PERC S300 adaper. An update might take up to five minutes per controller.
