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 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.

General Server Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the com-

• 

ponents you are adding to your chassis.

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.

Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the server from 

• 

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a 
power failure.

Allow the hot plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-

• 

ing them.

Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers 

• 

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
