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 System Information Guide.
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 may result in serious injury.
NOTE:
Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use in a Dell™
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. Dell 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 of a Dell rack.
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.
