Warnings and cautions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, heed all warnings
and cautions throughout the installation instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The rack is bolted to the floor using the concrete anchor kit.
• The leveling feet extend to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. If more than one component is extended, a rack
might become unstable.
WARNING: The chassis is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
• Remove all installed components from the chassis before installing or moving the chassis.
• Use caution and get help to lift and stabilize the chassis during installation or removal,
especially when the chassis is not fastened to the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, you must
adequately support the chassis during installation and removal.
WARNING: Always use at least two people to lift the chassis into the rack. If the chassis is
being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist with aligning the
chassis with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the chassis.
WARNING: Install the chassis starting from the bottom of the rack and work your way up the
rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Never reach inside the chassis while the system is powered up.
• Perform service on system components only as instructed in the user documentation.
