Operating instructions

System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians.
Installing System Components in Your Rack
CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side
stabilizers on stand-alone 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.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component
into or out of a rack. The slide rails can pinch your fingers.
• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking
position, and then slide the component into the rack.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total
rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
• Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.
Working on Your Rack or Your Rack-Mounted Components
CAUTION: Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of
the rack, a minimum of two people should perform this task.
• Before working on the rack, ensure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended
to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side
stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on
the rack.
• After installing equipment/components in a rack, never pull more than one component
out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time.
• The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and
may result in serious injury.
