Using the system without a rack
You can use the system without the server rack. When you are using the system without a rack, ensure that you
follow these guidelines:
•
The system must be placed on a solid, stable surface that supports the entire system.
NOTE:
The system must not be placed vertically.
•
Do not place the system on the floor.
•
Do not place anything on top of the system. The top panel may deflect under the weight and cause damage to the
system.
•
Ensure adequate space around the system for proper ventilation.
•
Ensure that the system is installed under the recommended temperature conditions as stated in the Technical
Specification – Environmental Section of Quest DL1300 Appliance Owner’s Manual at Quest.com/support/home.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damage to the system or physical injury.
