CAUTION: Always install rack rails and storage enclosure according to OpenFlex F3x00 and E3000
product documentation. Follow all cautions, warnings, labels, and instructions provided within the
rackmount instructions.
Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
Observe the maximum rated ambient temperature, which is specified in the product documentation.
For safe operation of the equipment, installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow is not impeded so that the safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
