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.
Caution:
Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone racks
or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers
accordingly before installing systems in a rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially
resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the
stabilizer(s) before installing components in the rack.
After installing system/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.
Caution:
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.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component
into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
