assembly.

WARNING!

Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected

from the server prior to performing this procedure.

Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power source is
connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.

Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

CAUTION:

Observe all ESD safety precautions before removing or replacing system memory.

Failure to follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
