environment.
Rack Warnings
Before installing your rack, be sure you understand the following warnings:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, always
be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component
outside the rack. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is
extended for any reason. Extend only one component at a time.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be
sure that:
•
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.
•
The racks are coupled in multiple-rack installations.
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: Always begin by mounting the heaviest item on the bottom of the
rack. Continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
