Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack
installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific warn-
ing and/or caution statements and procedures.
Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered to be components in a rack.
Thus, “component” refers to any server, storage system, or appliance, as well as to
various peripherals or supporting hardware.
WARNING: Installing Dell system components in a Dell rack without the
front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, poten-
tially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore,
always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack.
