Equipment Rack Precaution Information

Equipment Rack Precautions

CAUTION
ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be
anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one
or more servers are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The
equipment rack must be installed according to the manufacturer's
instructions. You must also consider the weight of any other device installed
in the rack.
MAIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for installing an
AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be
readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire
unit, not just to the server(s).
GROUNDING THE RACK INSTALLATION: To avoid the potential for
an electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding
conductor with the rack installation. If server power cords are plugged into
AC outlets that are part of the rack, then you must provide proper grounding
for the rack itself. If server power cords are plugged into wall AC outlets,
the safety grounding conductor in each power cord provides proper
grounding only for the server. You must provide additional, proper
grounding for the rack and other devices installed in it.
OVER CURRENT PROTECTION: The server is designed for an AC line
voltage source with up to 20 amperes of over current protection. If the power
system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more than
20 amperes of protection, you must provide supplemental protection for the
server. If more than one server is installed in the rack, the power source for
each server must be from a separate branch circuit.
CAUTION
Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an
equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 35 °C (95 °F).
Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your
server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front
of the server to maintain proper cooling. The rack selected and the ventilation
provided must be suitable to the environment in which the server will be
used.
