installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

•This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

Warnings and Precautions!

•

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the ﬂoor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

•You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si- multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

•

Server Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.

Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack ﬁrst, and then work up.

•Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.

•Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch- ing them.

•Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
