Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
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 (e.g. use of power
strips).
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server,
place the board component side up on a grounded, static free
surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the
board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
