Safety interlocks and enclosures
To prevent access to areas containing hazardous energy levels, some servers are
provided with enclosures and safety interlocks. Many Compaq servers are
interlocked so that the power supply is disabled when the enclosure cover is
removed. For servers provided with safety interlocks, observe the following
precautions:
◆ Do not remove enclosure covers or attempt to defeat the safety interlocks.
◆ Do not repair accessories and options inside enclosed or interlocked areas of the
system. Repair should be performed only by individuals who are qualified in
servicing computer equipment and trained to deal with products capable of
producing hazardous energy levels.
◆ Monitor Support Cover Do not place a monitor with an unstable base or a
monitor heavier than 55 pounds (25 kilograms) on
top of a monitor support cover. Instead, place the
monitor on a work surface next to the docking base.
◆ Rechargeable Battery
Pack
Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack
or short the metal contacts. In addition, do not
attempt to open or service the battery pack.
◆ Docking Base To avoid pinching your fingers, do not touch the rear
of the computer when docking it into a base.
