10 Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-4 and 7420 Safety and Compliance Guide • October 2013
■
Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
■ Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
■ Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use
of power strips).
Caution – Slide/rail mounted equipment must not be used as a shelf or workspace.
Rack System Warning
The following warnings apply to Racks and Rack Mounted systems.
Caution – For safety, equipment should always be loaded from the bottom up. That is, install the
equipment that will be mounted in the lowest part of the rack first, then the next higher systems, etc.
Caution – To prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation, the anti-tilt bar on the
rack must be deployed.
Caution – To prevent extreme operating temperature within the rack insure that the maximum
temperature does not exceed the product’s ambient rated temperatures.
Caution – To prevent extreme operating temperatures due to reduced airflow consideration should
be made to the amount of air flow that is required for a safe operation of the equipment.
Caution – Take adequate precautions when moving a rack or library that contains rack-installed
equipment. The weight of some rack equipment may have altered the rack or library center of
gravity and could cause an overbalance/tip condition during a move.
Caution –
For tape libraries, ensure that the equipment to be installed in the rack has UL Listing,
CSA or C-UL Certification, and is CE marked.
