Rack Warnings and Cautions
Before installing your rack, carefully review the following warnings:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, 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 equipment damage, ensure
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 for single-rack installation.
■ The racks are installed together in multiple-rack installations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, at least
two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U
rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft)
tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.
Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet;
always handle the rack from both sides.
WARNING: When installing the server in a Telco rack, ensure that the rack
frame is adequately secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.
CAUTION: Always begin by mounting the heaviest item on the bottom of the
rack. Continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
