Warnings and precautions
The following precautions must be taken for proper installation.
Rack precautions
l
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.
l
In a single-rack assembly, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In a multi-rack
assembly, the racks should be coupled together.
l
Always ensure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
l
Extend only one component at a time; extending two or more components
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Component precautions
l
Review the electrical and general safety precautions. For more information, see
Standardized warning statements for AC systems
l
Determine the placement of each component in the rack BEFORE you install the rails.
l
Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
l
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the component
from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
l
Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before
touching them.
l
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the appliance
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
