The equipment rack must be anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from tipping when a server or
piece of equipment is extended from it. The equipment rack must be installed according to the rack
manufacturer's instructions.
Install equipment in the rack from the bottom up, with the heaviest equipment at the bottom of the rack.
Extend only one piece of equipment from the rack at a time.
You are responsible for installing a main power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must
be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire unit, not just to the server(s).
To avoid risk of potential electric shock, a proper safety ground must be implemented for the rack and each
piece of equipment installed in it.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
CAUTION
ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures at an
ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to chassis ground -- any unpainted metal surface -- on your server when handling parts.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges.
After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board component side up on a
grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide
board over any surface.
