Rack Installation Safety Guidelines
Before installing your device in a rack, review the following guidelines:
•
Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.
•
Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).
•
Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper airflow.
•
Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.
•
Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.
•
Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
•
Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.
•
Connect the device to a properly grounded outlet.
•
Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.
•
Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of rack-mounted devices.
Preparing the CDEs for Rack Installation
Before installing a CDE-100 in the rack, ensure the following hardware configuration is set:
•
All dip switches are set in the OFF (down) position.
•
CD-ROM drive is connected to the primary IDE cable.
