v
Ensure that all equipment has a reliable branch-circuit ground connection. Do not
rely on a connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
v Ensure that the rack is balanced and within the specified weight limits. Secure
the rack mechanically to ensure stability in the event of an earthquake.
