Section 3 - Hardware Installation
General Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack installation documentation accompanying
the system and the rack for specific caution statements and procedures. Systems are considered to be components in a rack.
Thus, "component" refers to any system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over,
potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing
components in the rack.
• After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at
a time. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious injury.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of
the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks
before working on the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack; the slide rails
can pinch fingers.
• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the component
into the rack.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80
percent of the branch circuit rating.
