Installation Guide

WARNING:

For stability, you must ensure that a minimum of 50 lbs. is installed

in the bottom 3-U spaces of the rack cabinet.

Rack Stabilizer Feet

WARNING:

Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizer feet

installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury
under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer feet before
installing components in the rack.

WARNING:

After installing systems in a rack, never pull more than one system

out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one
extended system could cause the rack to tip over and cause injury.

The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over when a system
or other component is pulled out of the rack with the slide assemblies fully
extended.
