Preparing the Rack for Component Installation Stabilizing the Rack WARNING: The rack allows you to stack computer components on a vertical rather than a horizontal plane. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, you must follow these instructions carefully and heed all cautions and warnings throughout the installation instructions. Standalone Racks If you are installing a single (standalone) rack, make sure that the rack is level and that stabilizing feet have been attached, before installing the components. If an unstable rack is loaded with components, it can become unbalanced and may tip over. Leveling Feet The leveling feet, located beside each caster on the rack, unscrew and extend to the floor, resting in leveling-feet bases provided with your rack. These feet support the rack and help compensate for uneven surfaces. After positioning the rack in its final location, use an adjustable wrench to extend the leveling feet into the bases until the weight of the rack is fully on the feet and feet bases, not the casters. This stabilizes the rack for installation of your components. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the casters, make sure that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet, and not on the casters. The casters are designed only as an aid in moving the rack into position. They are not designed to support the weight of the rack and may become damaged if relied on to support the rack. 3-8 HP 10000 Series Rack Reference Guide

Stabilizing the Rack
WARNING:
The rack allows you to stack computer components on a vertical
rather than a horizontal plane.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage
to the equipment, you must follow these instructions carefully and heed all
cautions and warnings throughout the installation instructions.
Standalone Racks
If you are installing a single (standalone) rack, make sure that the rack is level and
that stabilizing feet have been attached, before installing the components. If an
unstable rack is loaded with components, it can become unbalanced and may tip over.
Leveling Feet
The leveling feet, located beside each caster on the rack, unscrew and extend to the
floor, resting in leveling-feet bases provided with your rack.
These feet support the
rack and help compensate for uneven surfaces.
After positioning the rack in its final location, use an adjustable wrench to extend the
leveling feet into the bases until the weight of the rack is fully on the feet and feet
bases, not the casters. This stabilizes the rack for installation of your components.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of damage to the casters, make sure that the full
weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet, and not on the casters. The casters are
designed
only
as an aid in moving the rack into position.
They are not designed to
support the weight of the rack and may become damaged if relied on to support
the rack.
