HP Cluster Platform Server and Workstation Overview

Important Safety Information
This manual provides only an overview of the procedures for removing servers from a cluster
rack and for installing PCI cards. Before performing such procedures, read the safety information
provided in the following documents:
• HP Cluster Platform Site Preparation Guide – The servers are installed in HP 10000-series racks.
Read and follow the rack safety information before starting any server maintenance operation
such as removing a server from a rack or opening a server chassis. Pay particular attention
to the rack power distribution information.
• Server Documentation – Your HP Cluster Platform ships with a full documentation set for
each component, including all server models used in the cluster. Read and follow the server
safety information before starting any server maintenance operation, such as removing a
server from a rack or opening a server chassis. Pay particular attention to warning labels
and icons
• Cable Management Documentation – Servers used as nodes in HP Cluster Platform do not
always use the rack-mount kits and cable management systems that are standard for the
server. HP Cluster Platform solutions use special rack-mount and cable management systems
that are designed to manage the many heavy cables used by some system interconnect
models. Refer to the appropriate cable management guide for each server model.
Also consider the following general warnings before working on an HP Cluster Platform
component:
WARNING: The front panel Power On/Off switch does not shut off all system power completely.
Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is
removed.
