Rack Equipment Precautions
These precautions and directions should be used only as an information source for
planning your GalaxyNASLX2 deployment. Avoid personal injury and equipment
damage by following accepted safety practices.
Floor Loading
CAUTION
specifications are adhered to. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage
to the equipment and the facility.
Deployment of rack servers, related equipment, and cables exceeds 1800 pounds for a
single 42U rack.
External cable weight contributes to overall weight of the rack installation. Carefully
consider cable weight in all designs
Installation Requirement
CAUTION
should be such that a hazardous stability condition is avoided due to uneven loading.
Rorke Data recommends that the rack footings extend 10 inches from the front and
back of any rack equipments 22U or higher.
Adequate stabilization measures are required. Ensure that the entire rack assembly is
properly secured and that all personnel are trained in proper maintenance and
operation procedures.
Tipping hazards include personal injury and death.
Power Input and Grounding
CAUTION
protection.
Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that
could have an effect on over current protection and supply wiring. Reliable grounding
of this equipment must be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections when connecting to power strips, rather than direct connections to the
branch circuit.
Thermal Dissipation Requirement
CAUTION
mandate minimum unrestricted airspace of three inches in both the front and the rear.
The ambient within the rack may be greater than room ambient. Installation should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised. The
maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is 122°F (50°C).
Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient.
