Rack Installation for Supermicro Switches
!
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 a 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 Precautions
•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the com-
ponents you are adding to your switch (if any).
•
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 uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the servers and
switches from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating
in case of a power failure.
•
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components closed when
not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
•
Do not remove the cover of the switch, there are no user-serviceable compo-
nents inside. Take unit to service center for repairs and servicing.
•
Disconnect all power cords before servicing.
CAUTION: Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as
a shelf or work space.
