CAUTION:
Make sure that the rack is secured properly to avoid tipping when the server unit is
extended.
Statement 16
CAUTION:
Some accessory or option board outputs exceed Class 2 or limited power source
limits and must be installed with appropriate interconnecting cabling in
accordance with the national electric code.
IMPORTANT:
Anchor the equipment rack: The equipment rack must be anchored to an
unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more
servers are extended in front of it on slides. The anchors must be able to
withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs.). You must also consider the
weight of any other dev ice installed in the rack.
Main AC power disconnect: You are responsible for installing an AC
power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be
readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire
unit, not just to the server(s).
Grounding the rack installation: To avoid the potential for an electrical
shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding conductor
with the rack installation. If the server power cord is plugged into an AC
outlet that is part of the rack, then you must provide proper grounding for
the rack itself. If the server power cord is plugged into a wall AC outlet,
the safety grounding conductor in the power cord provides proper
grounding only for the server. You must provide additional, proper
grounding for the rack and other devices installed in it.
Overcurrent protection: The server is designed for an AC line voltage
source with up to 20 amperes of ov ercurrent protection. If the power
system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more
than 20 amperes of protection, you must provide supplemental protection
for the server. If more than one server is installed in the rack, the power
source for each server must be from a separate branch circuit. The overall
current rating of a server configured with three power supplies is under 16
amperes.
ATTENTION:
Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in
an eq uipment rack, must not go below 5°C (41°F) or rise above 35°C (95°F).
Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in
your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the
front of the server to maintain proper cooling. The rack must also include
ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 3,150 BTUs per hour for the
server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to
the environment in which the server will be used.
