Before You Begin Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read "Safety Instructions", found earlier in this guide, as well as the safety instructions found in your Product Information Guide for additional information. CAUTION: When installing multiple systems in a rack, complete all of the procedures for the current system before attempting to install the next system. CAUTION: Rack cabinets can be extremely heavy and move easily on the casters. Use extreme caution while moving the rack cabinet. Retract the leveling feet when relocating the rack cabinet. Avoid long or steep inclines or ramps where loss of cabinet control may occur. Extend the leveling feet for support and to prevent the cabinet from rolling. Important Safety Information Observe the safety precautions in the following subsections when installing your system in the rack. CAUTION: You must strictly follow the procedures in this document to protect yourself as well as others who may be involved. Your system may be very large and heavy, and proper preparation and planning are important to prevent injury to yourself and to others. This becomes increasingly important when systems are installed high up in the rack. Rack Stabilizer Feet CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install the front and side stabilizers on stand-alone (single) racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing components in the rack. CAUTION: 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. See the documentation provided with the rack cabinet for instructions on installing and anchoring the stabilizer feet. Dell™ Rack Installation Guide 7
