WARNING It is very important that only one tray at a time be extended from the cabinet. If more than one tray is extended, the cabinet can become unstable and topple over. After each tray is installed or serviced, it must be fully inserted and secured using the supplied threaded fasteners before attempting to install or service another tray.
Maintaining proper ambient temperature usually requires installing the product in a temperature controlled space. Equipment rooms without cooling systems do not generally maintain the proper conditions for good battery life.
