Prepare for System Installation
Consult the rack vendor's documentation for details on how to remove the side
panels.
Important: Be sure not to pinch any cables that might have strayed from their
proper location.
Rack Installation Safety Precautions
Follow these safety precautions when installing the components in the rack.
Caution: If non-Oracle FS System equipment must be installed in the rack,
additional care must be taken to ensure that this equipment does not cause
overheating of the Oracle FS System components or block air flow. All Oracle FS
System components meet these requirements, but ONLY if the installation and
rack position guidelines are carefully followed.
Caution: Always load components into a rack from the bottom to the top so that
the rack does not become top-heavy and tip over.
Caution: Avoid elevated operating ambient temperature. If the component is
installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient
temperature. Therefore, make sure that the environment is compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (TMA) specified for the component.
Caution: Make sure that there is sufficient amount of airflow required for safe
operation of each component.
Caution: Mounting of a component in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading.
Caution: Consideration should be given to the connection of a component to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-
current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of component
nameplate power ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Caution: Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
Caution: Do not use slide-rail mounted equipment as a shelf.
