Safety Information
Use care to prevent injury and equipment damage when performing removal and replacement procedures.
Voltages might be present within the server. Many assemblies are sensitive to damage by electrostatic
discharge.
Follow the procedures listed below to ensure safe handling of components, to prevent injury, and to prevent
damage to the server:
• When removing or installing a hot-swappable item, follow the instructions provided in this guide.
• If installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component when power is applied (fans are running),
reinstall the server cover immediately to prevent overheating.
• If installing a hot-pluggable component, complete the required software intervention before removing the
component.
• If installing an assembly that is not hot-swappable nor hot-pluggable, disconnect the power cable from the
external power receptacle before proceeding.
WARNING Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server before working with the server.
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.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can snag or catch on the server or on other items.
• Do not wear clothing subject to static charge build-up, such as wool or synthetic materials.
• If installing an internal assembly, wear an antistatic wrist strap and use a grounding mat, such as those
included in the Electrically Conductive Field Service Grounding Kit (HP part number 9300-1155).
• Handle accessory boards and components by the edges only. Do not touch any metal-edge connectors or
any electrical components on accessory boards.
