WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety
information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the installation.
Some servers contain high energy, high circuits, moving parts (such as fan blades), or any
combination of these hazards, that may be exposed if covers and access panels are removed
while the product is powered. These products are intended to be serviced only by qualified
personnel who have been trained to deal with these hazards. Do not remove enclosures or
attempt to bypass any interlocks that may be provided for the purpose of guarding against these
hazardous conditions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, adequately
stabilize the rack before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one component at
a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended.
