• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the

floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.

• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

• You should extend only one component at a time – extending two or more

simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.

• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work

up.

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

• Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for

safe operation is not compromised.

• Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not

arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

• A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself

should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply

connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of

power strips, etc.).

• The UC Pro Server weighs approximately 40 lbs. Make sure that the rack unit is

capable of properly supporting this weight.
