Rack Installation Safety Guidelines
Prior to installing the system in a rack, adhere to the following rack installation guidelines:
Do not block or cover the openings to the system.
Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment. Dangerous voltages might be
present.
Conductive foreign objects can produce a short circuit and cause fire, electric shock, or damage to your
equipment.
Lift equipment using both hands and with your knees bent.
Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual materials
handling.
Do not attempt to move a rack by yourself; a minimum of two people is needed to move a rack.
Do not attempt to move a rack on an incline that is greater than 10 degrees from the horizontal.
Installing components in a rack without the front and side stabilizers can cause the rack to tip over.
Always install rack stabilizers before you install components in a rack.
Make sure the rack is properly secured to the floor or ceiling.
Always load the rack from the bottom up. Load the heaviest component in the rack first.
Make sure racks are coupled together if it is a multiple-rack installation.
Make sure the rack is level and stable before installing an appliance in the rack.
Make sure the leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
Make sure the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
Make sure the rack is level and stable before pulling a component out of the rack.
Make sure only one component is extended at a time. A rack might become unstable if more than one
component is extended.
Ensure that there is adequate airflow in the rack. Improper installation or restricted airflow can
damage the equipment.
