Rack Precautions

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 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 si-

•

multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

General Server Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the com-

•

ponents you are adding to your chassis.

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.

Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from

•

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.

Allow the hot plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-

•

ing them.

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

•

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
