Rack Warnings And Precautions - Compaq ProLiant 850R Setup And Installation Manual

Rack Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: Always load the heaviest item first and always load the rack
!
from the bottom up. This makes the rack "bottom-heavy" and helps
prevent the rack from becoming unstable.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the
!
equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides
power to the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
!
equipment, the bottom stabilizers on the equipment must be fully
extended. Ensure that the equipment is properly supported/braced when
installing options and cards.
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: 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.
