for Compaq racks and rack options. It also assists in the setup and
optimization of your new Compaq rack to best fit the needs of your
environment.
Rack Warnings and Precautions
Before beginning these procedures, make sure you understand the following
warnings and cautions:
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment,
always ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a
component outside the rack. A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason. Extend only one component at a time.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,
be sure that:
■
The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
■
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
■
The stabilizers are attached to the rack if it is a single rack installation.
■
The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, at
least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty
42U rack weighs 253 lb (115 kg), is over 7 ft (2.1 m) tall, and may become
unstable when being moved on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it
rolls down the ramp from the pallet, but handle it from the sides.
