When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if
offered with your Dell product, observe the following guidelines:

Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power
supply.

Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.

If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the sys-
tem by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.



Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly con-
nected to the computer or storage system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven
surfaces.

        

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack
installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific warn-
ing and/or caution statements and procedures.

Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered to be components in a rack.

various peripherals or supporting hardware.

NOTE: Dell’s servers, storage systems, and appliances are certified as components
for use in Dell’s rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The final installation of
Dell systems and rack kits in any other brand of rack cabinet has not been approved by
any safety agencies. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the final combination of
Dell systems and rack kits for use in other brands of rack cabinets evaluated for suit-
ability by a certified safety agency.



System rack kits are intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained service tech-
nicians. If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the
specifications of a Dell rack.



Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack,
Dell recommends a minimum of two people to accomplish this task.
