When disconnecting power you should first power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords from all the power supply modules in the system e When working around exposed electrical circuits another person who is fa miliar with the power off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary e Use only one hand when working with powered on electrical equipment This is to avoid making a complete circuit which will cause electrical shock Use extreme caution when using metal tools which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with e Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from electrical shock Instead use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators e The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets e Motherboard Battery CAUTION There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down which will reverse its polarities This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer s instructions e DVD ROM Laser CAUTION this server may have come equipped with a DVD ROM drive To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazard ous radiation exposure do not open the enclosure or use the unit in
