Safety instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your
system and working environment from potential damage.
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack installation
documentation accompanying 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.
Danger:
• Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone racks
or the front stabilizer on racks that are joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers
before installing systems in a rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting
in bodily injury.
• After installing components in a rack, never pull more than one component out of the
rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended
component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious injury.
Note:
• Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use in a
rack cabinet using the customer rack kit. It is your responsibility to ensure that the final
combination of system and rack complies with all applicable safety standards and local
electric code requirements.
• System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians.
Important:
• Two or more people are required to install components that are 2U or larger in a rack
cabinet.
• 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.
• 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.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack:
