which can fall and be damaged.

Make sure the airflow around the front and back of the device is not restricted.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and
progressively place lighter devices above.
DANGER
Use safe lifting practices when moving the product.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis using the fan or power
