v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven
mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always
install servers and optional devices starting from the
bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Rack mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf
or work space. Do not place any object on top of rack
mounted devices.
v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power
cord. Ensure that all power cords in the rack cabinet
are disconnected before servicing any device in the
rack cabinet.
v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to
power devices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do
not plug a power cord from a device installed in one
rack cabinet into a power device installed in a
different rack cabinet.
v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could
place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the
system or the devices that attach to the system. It is
the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the
outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an
electrical shock.
