Error Prevention For more information on the temperature requirements of your server, refer to your server-specific user documentation. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options: • Be sure that the option equipment does not impede airflow to the rack-mountable ProLiant servers or increase the internal rack temperature beyond the specified maximum rating. • Be sure that the manufacturer maximum recommended ambient operating temperature of the option equipment is not exceeded when the options are installed in the rack. Preventing Damage to Removable Drives Removable drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the computer, damage to a removable drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions: • Before removing a diskette drive, CD-ROM drive, or DVD drive, be sure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive. Be sure that the CD-ROM or DVD tray is closed. • Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector. • Handle drives on a work surface that has at least one inch of shockproof foam. • Do not drop drives from any height onto any surface. • Do not expose a hard drive to products, such as monitors or speakers, that have magnetic fields. • Do not expose a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.
