Warnings and Precautions!

Rack Precautions

!

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.

In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si- multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.

Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
