Precautions - heavy equipment

Warning: Inappropriate handling of NetBackup components can result in serious
injury, equipment damage, or both. A NetBackup 5230 appliance weighs
approximately 52 lbs (23.58 kg), with disks installed. A Storage Shelf weighs about
71.7 lbs (32.5 kg) with disks installed. Use appropriate practices, techniques, and
tools when handling these components.
The heaviest devices in any equipment rack should be installed in the bottom of
the rack. If heavy devices are installed at the top of the rack, the rack may tip over.
Injury to personnel and damage to equipment is very possible. The Storage Shelf
is heavier than the appliance. Therefore, you must install the storage shelf in the
bottom of the rack. Install the appliance higher in the rack than the storage shelves.
