Rack Installation Guide
1-7
CAUTION:
After installing systems in a rack, never pull more than one system out of the rack on its
slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended system could cause the rack to tip
over and cause injury.
The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over when a system or other component is
pulled out of the rack with the slide assemblies fully extended. See the documentation provided
with the rack cabinet for instructions on installing and anchoring the stabilizer feet.
