Rack Installation—Precautions
Ensure that precautions have been taken to ensure rack stability and safety. Observe all cautions
and warnings included in the installation instructions.
WARNING!
Observe local occupational safety requirements and guidelines for heavy equipment handling.
Obtain assistance to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal. Use at least
two people to safely unload the rack from the pallet.
Extend the leveling jacks to the floor.
Rest the full weight of the rack on the leveling jacks.
Attach stabilizing feet to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
Ensure that the racks are coupled in a multiple-rack installation.
Fully extend the bottom stabilizers on the equipment. Ensure that the equipment is properly
supported and braced when installing options and boards.
Be careful when sliding rack components with slide rails into the rack. The slide rails can
pinch your fingertips.
Ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a rack component with slide
rails outside the rack. Extend only one rack component at a time. A rack can become unstable
if more than one component is extended.
Verify that the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack is not
overloaded. Overloading AC power to the rack power supply branch circuit increases the
risk of personal injury, fire, and damage to the equipment. The total rack load should not
exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. Consult the electrical authority with jurisdiction over
your facility wiring and safety electrical requirements before performing the installation.
Remove all pluggable power supplies and modules to reduce the weight of the product.
Always load the heaviest item first, from the bottom of the rack and up. This makes the rack
bottom-heavy and more stable.
Do not attempt to move a fully loaded equipment rack. Remove equipment from the rack
before moving the rack.

Inspecting the Packaging

Before unpacking any boxes, inspect the packaging for crushes, cuts, water damage, or any
other evidence of mishandling during transit. If there is any damage, photograph the packaging
for future reference.
