• Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top
of rack-mounted devices. In addition, do not lean on rack mounted devices and do not use them
to stabilize your body position (for example, when working from a ladder).
• Stability hazard:
– The rack may tip over causing serious personal injury.
– Before extending the rack to the installation position, read the installation instructions.
– Do not put any load on the slide-rail mounted equipment mounted in the installation position.
– Do not leave the slide-rail mounted equipment in the installation position.
• Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord.
– For AC powered racks, be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed
to disconnect power during servicing.
– For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), turn off the circuit breaker that controls
the power to the system unit(s), or disconnect the customer’s DC power source, when
directed to disconnect power during servicing.
• Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device
installed in a different rack cabinet.
• An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts
of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (R001 part
1 of 2)
(R001 part 2 of 2):
CAUTION:
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
• (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer
brackets are not attached to the rack or if the rack is not bolted to the floor. Do not pull out more
than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer
at a time.
• (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the
rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack. (R001
