CAUTION Do not operate the server for long periods without the cover installed. Operating the server

without the cover results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal

damage.

WARNING To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety

information and user documentation provided with your server before attempting

installation.
