Important safety information
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
•
The rear leveling feet are extended to the floor.
•
The full weight of the rack rests on the rear leveling feet and front stabilizer feet.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the rack and equipment, the
racks must be positioned and secured together according to these instructions. Failure to do so
could result in an unstable installation.
WARNING:
Components can be very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment:
•
Remove all pluggable power supplies and modules to reduce the weight of the product before
lifting it.
•
Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
•
Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. When the component weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb),
at least two people must lift the component into the rack together. If the component is loaded
into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist in aligning the rails while the other
two support the component.
•
Use caution when installing the component in or removing the component from the rack; it is
unstable when not fastened to the rails.
