Rack Precautions
• 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.
• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from it.
• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously
may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
• Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, then work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the StoneFly Appliance
from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power
failure.
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the appliance com
ponents closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
• Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the chas-
sis airflow.
Step 2: Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. There-
fore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compati-
ble with the Appliance’s maximum rated ambient temperature.
Reduced Airflow
The DR365-HA™ appliance should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation is not compromised.
