Rack Mounting
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,
extended to the oor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the oor. Install front
and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before
working on the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack rst.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack.

out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your ngers.
After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position,
and then slide the device into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The
total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Make sure that all equipment used on the rack – including power strips and other
electrical connectors – is properly grounded.

Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment does not
exceed the maximum ambient temperature specied for the equipment by
the manufacturer
Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack.

or a workspace.
