3-2 Rack-Mount Server Installation
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, at least two people are needed to safely unload the rack
from the pallet. An empty 42U rack weighs 253 LB (115 kg), is over
seven ft (2.1m) tall, and may become unstable when being moved
on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it rolls down the
ramp from the pallet, but handle it from the sides.
WARNING: Because the rack allows you to stack computer
components on a vertical rather than a horizontal plane, you must
take precautions to provide for rack stability and safety. It is
important that you follow these basic instructions to protect both
personnel and property, and that you heed all cautions and
warnings throughout the installation instructions.
WARNING: Always load the heaviest item first and always load
the rack from the bottom up. This will make the rack "bottom-
heavy" and help prevent the rack from becoming unstable. See
"Rules for the Rack Builder" on the Rack Builder diskette for the
rules that govern the vertical placement of rack-mounted
components.
WARNING: A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, always ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized
before extending a component outside the rack, and extend only
one component at a time.
WARNING: Before beginning to work on the rack, be sure that
the leveling jacks are extended to the floor, that the full weight of
the rack rests on the level floor, and that either stabilizers are
installed or that multiple racks are coupled together for stability.
CAUTION: Do not place anything on power cords or cables.
Arrange them so that no one may accidentally step or trip over
them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the
electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
