Rack System Precautions

Important SGI InfiniteStorage 15000 drive enclosures should only be installed in SGI InfiniteStorage 15000 racks. Mounting and installing these drive enclosures in any other rack is not authorized or supported by SGI.

The SGI InfiniteStorage 15000 drive enclosures are pre-installed in the rack before shipment. If the drive enclosures must be re-installed and mounted, the following safety requirements must be considered when the unit is mounted in a rack.

•The rack stabilizing (anti-tip) plates should be installed and secured to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or normal use.

•When loading a rack with the units, fill the rack from the bottom up and empty from the top down.

•Always remove all modules and drives, to minimize weight, before loading the chassis into a rack.

Warning It is recommended that you do not slide more than one enclosure out of the rack at a time, to avoid danger of the rack tipping over.

• When mounting in a rack, ensure that the enclosure is pushed fully back into the rack.
