Power supply Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the appliance from
power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep your system operating in a power
failure.
Heat, electricity, and EMI Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields are generated.
Prepare the rack
1. Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full
weight of the rack resting on them.
v In single rack installations, attach stabilizers to the rack.
v In multiple rack installations, couple the racks together.
2. Check that the rack is stable before extending an appliance from the rack.
3. Extend only one appliance at a time. Extending two or more simultaneously can destabilize the rack.
4. Determine the placement of each appliance in the rack before you install the rails.
5. Install the heaviest appliances (usually the Slicestor
®
appliances) on the bottom of the rack first, and
then work upward.
