Before You Begin
CAUTION:
Before you begin installing your rack, carefully read "Important Safety
Information," as well as the safety instructions found in your system's System
Information Guide for additional information.
CAUTION:
When installing multiple systems in a rack, complete all of the
procedures for the current system before attempting to install the next system.
CAUTION:
Rack cabinets can be extremely heavy and move easily on the casters.
The cabinet has no brakes. Use extreme caution while moving the rack cabinet.
Retract the leveling feet when relocating the rack cabinet. Avoid long or steep
inclines or ramps where loss of cabinet control may occur. Extend the leveling
feet for support and to prevent the cabinet from rolling.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to move your rack with components installed. If you
move a fully loaded rack on a slightly uneven floor surface, the rack may become
unstable and tip over.
Important Safety Information
Observe the safety precautions in the following subsections when installing
your system in the rack.
CAUTION:
You must strictly follow the procedures in this document to protect
yourself as well as others who may be involved. Your system may be very large
and heavy, and proper preparation and planning are important to prevent injury to
yourself and to others. This becomes increasingly important when systems are
installed high up in the rack.
Rack Stabilizer Feet
CAUTION:
Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizer feet
installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury
under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer feet before
installing components in the rack.
CAUTION:
After installing systems in a rack, never pull more than one system out
of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one
extended system could cause the rack to tip over and cause injury.
The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over when a system or
other component is pulled out of the rack with the slide assemblies fully
extended.
