Rack safety
The following general safety information must be used for all rack-mounted devices.
DANGER
v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v To avoid hazardous conditions because of uneven mechanical loading, always install the
heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional
devices, starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or workspace. Do not place any object
on top of rack-mounted devices.
v
Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power
cords in the rack cabinet before you service any device in the rack cabinet.
v Connect all devices that are installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the
same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device that is installed in one rack
cabinet into a power device that is installed in a different rack cabinet.
v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired might 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.
CAUTION:
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures might exceed
the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
v 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 that is used for air flow
through the unit.
v Consideration must 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 on
the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
v (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer
brackets are not attached to the rack. 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.
v
(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 out of
the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the
rack.
