Chapter 9: Installation Guidelines and Requirements
Safety Guidelines
For your safety, before installing the system, review all safety warnings in this topic.
WARNING: The recommended maximum ambient temperature is 40˚° C (104° F). For safe operation take into consideration the internal temperature within the rack.
WARNING: Install equipment in the rack from the bottom upward. Doing this helps maintain the stability of the rack and reduces the chance of the rack tipping over.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, into the system. Doing so can cause electric shock and serious burns.
WARNING: Three people are required to install the system in a rack: two to lift the system into position and one to screw it to the rack.
WARNING: Connect the system or rack to ground (earth), and ensure that a reliable grounding path is maintained in the rack.
WARNING: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during lightning activity.
WARNING: Be sure that circuit breakers for the power source are in the OFF position before attaching power cables.
