Safety Tips

WARNING:

It is the customer’s responsibility, working with their third party rack supplier,

to ensure proper rack installation, anti-tipping devices, power ratings, power connectors,

and secure earth ground are achieved for all installations in third party racks.

WARNING:

Lift Components Properly.

Do not attempt to lift any of the components by

yourself. Use an OSHA approved equipment-lifting device. Follow all OSHA lifting rules

and regulations.

If a rack loading hand truck is not available, two to three people are needed to lift heavy

components. Reduce weight by removing power supplies and hard disk modules from the

NAS server, array, UPS, and library for mounting.

Tipping hazard exists while removing rack from the pallet.

Rack should be steadied and

kept from tipping by 2 or 3 people while removing rack from the pallet. Position people so

that rack does not tip over causing injury. Take special care as rack wheels roll off end of

ramp onto floor: Ensure wheels do not lock and cause tipping.

Tipping hazard.

Tipping of rack may cause severe injury or death. To prevent tipping,

anti-tipping feet must be installed on the rack prior to racking any of the components.

Prevent Tipping.

To prevent the rack from rolling while you mount the components, make

sure the leveler screws on the rack’s lower four corners are in firm contact with the floor.

Proper installation of the anti-tip feet is required before installing or servicing any device

in your racks.

Use the anti-tip feet in the rack base (HP E Series racks, bolt on front and back;

HP Computer Cabinet, none; Compaq 9000 and 1000 series, front, left, right sides). Always

use the rack mounting handles that are supplied on rack-optimized units.

Pay particular attention to the racking instructions provided in the rack documentation. Rack

the heaviest components at the bottom of the rack and work upward, heaviest equipment to

lightest, without leaving empty space in the rack.

Never extend more than one piece of equipment on slides at one time.

Always start

assembly at the bottom of the rack with the heaviest items and work upward: UPS, tape library,

NAS servers, Quorum server, FC switches, storage array(s), disk enclosures.
