Rack Installation Guide

CAUTION: Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help
protect your system and working environment from potential damage. For complete safety
information, see the Product Information Guide.
SAFETY: Rack Mounting of Systems
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety.
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any system
as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION:
Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could
cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances.
Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component out of the rack
on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended component could
cause the rack to tip over and injure someone.
NOTE:
Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use in a rack
cabinet using the customer rack kit. The installation of your system and rack kit in any other rack
cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is your responsibility to ensure that the
final combination of system and rack complies with all applicable safety standards and local
electric code requirements. The manufacturer disclaims all liability and warranties in connection
with such combinations.
• System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians.
If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications.
CAUTION:
Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack, a minimum
of two people should accomplish this task.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,
extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front
and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before
working on the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component
into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking
position, and then slide the component into the rack.
