Precautions for Rack-Mounting
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also see the rack
installation documentation accompanying the rack for specific warning and/or
caution statements and procedures.
Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered to be components in a
rack. Thus, “component” refers to any server, storage system, or appliance, as
well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
•
Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack,
a minimum of two people are needed to accomplish this task.
•
Ensure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from
the rack.
•
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
•
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
•
Do not step on or stand on any system/component when servicing other
system/components in a rack.
•
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
•
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
•
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
