Equipment Rack Precautions
Statement 15
CAUTION
Make sure that the rack is secured properly to avoid tipping when the server unit is extended.
Notes
Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 40 °C
(104 °F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the server to maintain proper cooling. The rack must also include ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 1023 BTU's per hour for the server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to the environment in which the server will be used.
