Cleaning and working with internal devices
Do not disassemble, repair, or alter the server.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or alter the server on any occasion except as described in
User's Guide. Failure to follow this warning may cause not only malfunction of the server but
also an electric shock or fire.
Risk of explosion if a battery is removed or replaced.
Do not attempt to remove lithium, NiMH, or Li-ion batteries installed in this product by
yourself.
If the product does not work normally due to the dead battery, contact your sales representative.
Placing a battery close to a fire or in the water or replacing it with an incorrect type may cause
an explosion. Dispose of used batteries according to 1.5 Transfer, movement, and disposal.
Disconnect the power plug before cleaning the server.
Be sure to power off the server and disconnect the power plug from a power outlet before
cleaning or installing/removing internal optional devices. Touching any internal device of the
server with its power cord connected to a power source may cause an electric shock even if the
server is off-powered. Occasionally disconnect the power plug from the outlet and clean the
plug with a dry cloth. Heat will be generated if condensation is formed on a dusty plug, which
may cause a fire.
Pay attention to hot surface.
Components including internal hard disk drives in the server are extremely hot just after the
server is turned off. Allow the surface to cool before installing/removing.
Secure cables or cards in place.
Be sure to secure the power cord, interface cables, and cards in place. Incomplete installation
causes a loose connection, resulting in smoke or fire.
During operation
Do not pull out or remove the server from the rack.
Do not pull the server out of the rack or remove it from the rack. In addition to causing
equipment to not function properly, separating the server from the rack may result in personal
injury.
Avoid contact with the server during thunderstorms.
Do not touch any part of the server including the cables when a thunderstorm is approaching.
Also, do not connect or disconnect any devices. There may be a risk of electric shock from
lightning strike.
Keep animals away from the server.
Keep animals such as pets away from the server. Pet hair or other waste enters the server, which
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not place any object on top of servers.
Separating the server from the rack may result in personal injury and damage to nearby personal
belongings.
