Rack Precautions
•Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to
the oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
•In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
•You should extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more simul-
taneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
General Server Precautions
•Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the com-
ponents you are adding to your chassis.
•Determine the placement of each component in the rack.
•Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then
work up.
•Use a regulating, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
•Allow the hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touching
them.
•Always keep the rack's front door, all panels and all components on the servers
closed when not servicing, in order to maintain proper cooling.
