System Installation
Choosing a Setup Location
•

inches).
•
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow
and ease in servicing.
•
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,
service closets and the like).
Warnings and Precautions
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 single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•
Always make sure that the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
•
You should extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more simultaneously may
cause the rack to become unstable.
General System Precautions
•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the components you are
adding to your chassis.
•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
•
Install the heaviest system components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work upwards.
•
