Cabinet safety

•Load the rack from the bottom up, starting with the heaviest component.

•Ensure that the component is properly mated with the rails, or the rails may be unstable.

•Do not attempt to move a fully loaded rack. Remove components from the rack before moving it.

•Do not attempt to move a rack on an incline that is greater than 10 degrees from horizontal.

WARNING! Cabinets are heavy even when empty. Exercise caution when moving cabinets whether equipment is installed in the cabinet or not. Avoid rolling cabinets on rough or uneven surfaces or inclines greater than 10 degrees. Unloading cabinets from the pallet and movement of cabinets should be performed by at least two people.

Slideable products are not to be extended from the cabinet while the equipment is on the shipping pallet. The cabinet must be unloaded from the pallet and all anti-tip devices properly installed prior to extending any slideable product.

Once installed, all anti-tip devices must remain in place to maintain stability. Only one slideable product must be extended at a time.

Failure to follow these precautions can result in damage to equipment or injury to personnel.

•Disconnect the modem cable before opening a product enclosure, touching or installing internal components, or touching an uninsulated modem cable or jack.

•Do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors into the NIC receptacles.
