WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
•
The leveling feet are extended to the floor.
•
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
•
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
•
The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
•
Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
•
Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the component or to increase
the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
•
Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
When loading your components, observe the general guidelines:
•
For detailed instructions on installing specific component or third-party hardware, see the user
documentation that shipped with that component.
•
Before installing components into the rack, see the "Electrostatic Discharge (on page
)" section.
•
Load the heavier components first from the bottom of the rack.
•
Be sure to balance the weight load among bayed racks. For example, if you have several UPS units
and several servers, do not load all of the UPS units into one rack. Instead, distribute them evenly in
the bottom positions of each rack.
•
Allow a minimum clearance of 76 cm (30 in) between the wall and the rear of the rack to provide
adequate access for installation and service.
