Installing the Hardware
CAUTION: Do not operate the server with the access panel removed for
extended periods of time. This precaution protects thermally sensitive
components by ensuring the proper airflow through the server and minimizes
personal contact with hazardous energy levels.
For additional information about drive installation, see Appendix E, “Hard Drive
Installation and Replacement.”
