Removal and replacement procedures 24
WARNING: To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not stack anything
on top of rail-mounted equipment or use it as a work surface when extended from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The rack is bolted to the floor using the concrete anchor kit.
• The leveling feet extend to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. If more than one component is extended, a rack
might become unstable.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is
adequately stabilized before installing the chassis.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the product parallel to the floor when installing the chassis. Tilting the
product up or down could result in damage to the slides.
CAUTION: HP has not tested or validated the HP Apollo a6000 Chassis with any third-party
racks. Before installing the HP Apollo a6000 Chassis in a third-party rack, be sure to properly
scope the limitations of the rack. Before proceeding with the installation, consider the following:
• You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be
sure that it can accommodate the weight of the HP Apollo a6000 Chassis.
• Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the chassis, and
actuation of the rack doors.
