Rack Warnings
Before installing the rack, observe the following warnings:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be
sure that:
•
The rack is adequately stabilized before installing or removing a
component.
•
Only one component is extended at a time.
•
The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
•
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
•
The stabilizers are attached to the rack for single-rack installation.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage,
AT LEAST two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An
empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than
2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.
Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the
pallet; always handle the rack from both sides.
WARNING: When installing the enclosure in a telco rack, be sure that the rack
frame is adequately secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.
CAUTION:
When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the
high airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (for 42U rack) and P/N 157847-B21
(for 22U rack)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling and to prevent
damage to the equipment.
