Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power
surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
Allow the hot plug power supply modules to cool before touching them.
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels on the server closed to maintain proper
cooling.

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's
maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation
is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to
uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and
the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded.
Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections
to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips and other devices).
Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
