2-4 Setting Up Your System
Before you begin the rack installation review the following guidelines.
Do Not:
! Locate a rack in a narrow space that would inhibit devices from being pulled out from the
rack completely.
! Locate the rack on a floor that cannot bear the total weight of the rack and devices
mounted in the rack.
! Locate the rack in a place where stabilizers cannot be installed or where the rack can be
installed only after proper earthquake-resistant is constructed.
! Locate the rack on an uneven or slanting floor
! Locate the rack in an area that has drastic temperature change (near a heater, air
conditioner, or refrigerator).
! Locate the rack where intense vibration may be generated.
! Locate the rack where corrosive gas is generated, chemicals are nearby, or chemicals may
be sprayed accidentally.
! Place the rack on a carpet not subject to the anti-static process.
! Locate the rack where some objects may fall on the rack.
! Locate the rack near a device that is generating intense magnetic fields (such as a TV,
radio, broadcast/communication antenna, power transmission wire, and electromagnetic
crane.) If unavoidable, contact your service representative to request proper shielding.)
! Locate the rack where the power cord of the server must be connected to an AC outlet
that shares other devices with large power consumption.
! Locate the rack next to equipment that generates power noise (e.g., contact spark at
power-on/power-off of commercial power supply through a relay). If you must install
the server close to such equipment, request your service representative for separate power
cabling or noise filter installation.
