Rack Installation Precautions
Follow these precautions to avoid injury to yourself and damage to your equipment:
■
Install heavier systems toward the bottom of the rack to improve stability.
■
Position your racks so that warm air exhaust from the back of one rack does not
flow directly into the cool air intake area for another.
■
Make sure that your racks are securely fastened to the floor.
Caution –
Make sure that each system is grounded to the rack, and that each rack is
connected to ground in the building.
