Safety considerations 

Before performing service procedures, review the following safety information. 

 

Rack warnings and cautions 

Before installing a spare kit, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions. 

  

 

WARNING:

  You must follow the removal and replacement instructions listed in the site 

preparation guide, the user guide, and the maintenance and service guide. Failure to follow 

the instructions listed in these guides can void your warranty and service contract. 

  

  

 

WARNING:

  To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, use extreme 

caution when removing and replacing components that involve water around the electrical 

wires and unsecured power inlet box. There is great risk of electrical shock when water is used 

near electricity. 

  

  

 

IMPORTANT:

  To reduce the risk of the servers overheating, open all of the rack doors of each 

rack attached to the MCS unit while completing the following procedures in order to increase 

air flow within the rack. 

  

  

 

IMPORTANT:

  While the most important cautions and warnings have been included in this 

document, consult the site preparation guide and the user guide provided with the original unit 
for a complete list of cautions and warnings. 

  

 

Preparation procedures 

Before you perform certain service procedures, perform one or both of the following procedures. 

 

Powering down the MCS unit 

1.

 

Open the front MCS door. 

2.

 

Turn off the AC1 and AC2 breakers on the AC transfer switch. 

3.

 

Open the rear MCS door.
