Observing Safety Precautions
WARNING
Follow all instructions explicitly to avoid personal injury and equipment damage.
Before installing the base unit into a rack, prevent the rack from moving by engaging the
stabilizers. If the rack is not equipped with stabilizers, refer to the documentation delivered
with the rack for stabilizing instructions.
Observe the following safety precautions when installing the base unit into a rack or when
using the rack-mounted system:
u
Extend only one slide rail set at a time. Push an extended slide rail set back into the rack
before extending another.
WARNING
Extending more than one slide rail set could cause the rack to fall forward, causing
damage to the equipment and injuring anyone in front of the rack.
u
Do not push on or lean against the rack. Always engage the stabilizers. The adjustable
feet should be lowered securely against the floor.
u
If the rack contains an AC distribution box or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), do
not connect the power cord to the wall outlet until instructed to do so in the system
documentation.
u
Set up the system completely before you start it.
WARNING
Once you install equipment into the rack, do not move the rack. If you must move the
rack, first remove all equipment, move the rack to its new location, and then reinstall
the equipment.
CAUTION
Do not move the system without first shutting down the system and turning off power, or
damage to internal components may result.
After setup is complete, refer to Chapters 2 and following for startup and configuration
instructions.
Placing the System Components
Refer to the documentation delivered with the rack for instructions to unpack it and set it up.
When placing system components, keep these guidelines in mind:
u
Move and place the monitor and the base unit carefully.
u
Place the base unit in a well-ventilated location where air can circulate freely around it.
u
Do not expose the system to high levels of dust, smoke, or moisture.
