WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Do not attempt to move or relocate an equipment rack populated with servers. A fully
populated rack can weigh as much as 1,800 pounds. The rack may become unstable
and cause serious personal injury or damage to the equipment.
• Do not install the ProLiant DL360 Servers into the rack until the rack has been located
in its final location.
• Slide rails, PDUs, power cords and cables can be pre-installed into the rack in a build-
room or on the data center floor prior to moving it to the final location.
• Prior to installing the servers, ensure that the leveling jacks are extended to the floor
and that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. The casters are not
designed to support the full weight of a populated rack.
Prior to installing the servers, ensure that the stabilizing kit has been installed on stand-
alone racks, or that multiple racks are coupled together.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, fire or damage to the
equipment:
• Before beginning work on the rack, be sure that the leveling jacks are extended to the
floor, that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks, and that either the
stabilizer kit is installed or multiple racks are coupled together for stability.
• Always load the heaviest item first, and load the rack from the bottom up. This makes
the rack “bottom-heavy” and helps prevent the rack from becoming unstable.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
• The bottom stabilizers on the equipment must be fully installed. Be sure that the
equipment is properly supported/braced when installing options and cards.
A rack may become unstable if more than one ProLiant DL360 servers are fully extended
for any reason. Fully extend only one ProLiant DL360 server at a time.
IMPORTANT: Because the rack allows you to stack computer components on a vertical rather
than horizontal plane, you must take precautions to provide for rack stability and safety and to
protect both personnel and property. Heed all cautions and warnings in the installation
instructions that came with the server.
