Rack Mounting Guidelines

Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack. Statement 1006

The following information can help plan equipment rack installation:

•Allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.

•If the rack contains stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers prior to mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

•When mounting a device in an enclosed rack, ensure adequate ventilation. Do not overcrowd an enclosed rack. Make sure that the rack is not congested, because each unit generates heat.

•When mounting a device in an open rack, make sure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust ports.

•If the rack contains only one unit, mount the unit at the bottom of the rack.

•If the rack is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
