Rack Warnings and Precautions
Before beginning these procedures, make sure you understand the following
warnings and caution.
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 (2.1m) 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,
do not use the system board tray handle to lift or move the Compaq
ProLiant ML530 server.
WARNING: Because the rack allows you to stack computer components on a
vertical rather than a horizontal plane, you must take precautions to provide for
rack stability and safety. It is important that you follow these basic instructions
to protect both personnel and property, and that you heed all cautions and
warnings throughout the installation instructions.
WARNING: Always load the heaviest item first and always load the rack from
the bottom up. This will make the rack “bottom-heavy” and help prevent the
rack from becoming unstable.
WARNING: A rack may become unstable if more than one component is
extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of personal injury, always ensure
that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component outside the
rack, and extend only one component at a time.
