Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling information. When
installing your server in a rack, consider the following:
Ensure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
Do not block any air vents; typically 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow.
Install your server in a rack with perforated doors.
Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.
Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.
Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
Take precautions to prevent overloading the power outlets when you install multiple devices in a rack.
Use safe practices when lifting.
