Rack safety Rack installation DANGER v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinets. v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or work space. Do not place any object on top of rack-mounted devices. v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet before servicing any device in the rack cabinet. v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet. CAUTION: v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices. v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit. v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. v To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit. v (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack may become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time. v (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and should not be moved for servicing unless specified by manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack may cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack. (R001) Safety and environmental notices xiii

space.
Do
not
place
any
object
on

devices.
v
Each
rack
cabinet
might
have
more
than
one
power
cord.
Be
sure
to
disconnect
all
power
cords
in
the
rack
cabinet
before
servicing
any
device
in

cabinet.
CAUTION:
v
Do
not
install
a
unit
in
a
rack
where
the
internal
rack
ambient
temperatures
will
exceed
the
manufacturer’s
recommended
ambient
temperature
for
all
your

of
the
equipment
to
the
supply
circuit
so
that
overloading

power
connection
to
a
rack,
refer
to
the
rating
labels
located
