Troubleshooting
WARNING Before removing a cover, always disconnect the AC power cords. Disconnect them to
avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited
by metal objects such as tools or jewelry. Disconnect the telephone cables to avoid
exposure to shock hazard from the telephone ringing voltages.
WARNING Do NOT operate the HP Server for more than 10 minutes with any cover (including
power supplies and disk drives) removed. Otherwise, damage to system components may
result due to improper cooling airflow. However, you can safely remove a cover while
the HP Server is running to remove and replace PCI hot-plug boards. For any other
service activity requiring access to the system board or power distribution board, power
down the HP Server and observe all safety precautions.
