Caution – When raising the unit, do not grab the handles on the front. The handles
on the front are only to be used for pushing in or pulling out the unit in the rack.
They are not designed to bear the weight of the unit.

unbalancing the rack. The stabilizer (if applicable) must be deployed whenever a
server is extended out of the rack.
