Operating Instructions
General server precautions
Ì
Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the
components you are adding to your appliance.
Ì
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install
the rails.
Ì
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and
then work up.
Ì
Allow hot plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before
touching them.
Ì
Always keep the rack‘s front door, all panels, and server components
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
Rack mounting considerations
Ì
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. Therefore,
you should install the equipment in an environment compatible with the
manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature.
Ì
Reduced airflow:
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that
airflow required for safe operation is not blocked.
Ì
Mechanical loading:
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a
hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Ì
Circuit overloading:
Follow the equipment nameplate ratings to avoid
possible circuit overload.
Ì
Reliable grounding:
Reliable grounding must be maintained at all times.
To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention
should be given to power supply connections other than the direct
connections to the branch circuit (i.e., the use of power strips, etc.).
