rack warnings
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 771 kg (1,700 lb).
The rack might become unstable and cause serious personal injury or
equipment damage.
• Before installing the servers, extend the leveling jacks to the floor and rest
the full weight of the rack on the leveling jacks. Either install the stabilizer
kit or couple multiple racks together for stability.
• Always load the heaviest item first and load the rack from the bottom to
the top. Loading in this manner makes the rack “bottom-heavy” and
helps prevent the rack from becoming unstable.
• Extend only one server at a time. A rack might become unstable if more
than one server is fully extended for any reason.
CAUTION: Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides powe
r
to the rack.
Note: Slide rails, power distribution units (PDUs), power cords, and cables can be
preinstalled into the rack in a build room or on the data center floor before moving the
rack to its final location.
