WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:
• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can
weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might become
unstable when being moved on its casters.
• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle
the rack from both sides.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, adequately stabilize
the rack before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one component at a time. A
rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended.
WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is adequately
secured at the top and bottom to the building structure.
Electrostatic discharge
Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A
discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-
sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the system or component.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Use one or
more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
◦ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords.
To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
◦ Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
◦ Use conductive field service tools.
◦ Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller
install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized
reseller.
Installing the server into the rack
To install the server into a rack with square, round, or threaded holes, refer to the instructions that ship
with the rack hardware kit.
