WARNING: The server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do
the following:
•
Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material
handling.
•
Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is
not fastened to the rails. The server weighs more than 13.5 kg (29.82 lb), so at least two people must
lift the server into the rack together. An additional person may be required to help align the server if
the server is installed higher than chest level.
•
Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack.
•
Adequately stabilized the rack before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one
component at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended.
•
Do not stack anything on top of rail-mounted component or use it as a work surface when extended
from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, observe the following
precautions:
•
The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
•
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
•
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
•
The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:
•
At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can
weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might become unstable
when being moved on its casters.
•
Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the
rack from both sides.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install
the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
CAUTION: Before installing the server in a rack, be sure to properly scope the limitations of the rack.
Before proceeding with the installation, consider the following:
•
You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that
it can accommodate the weight of the server.
•
Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the server, and movement
of the rack doors.
Electrostatic discharge
Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A
discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-
sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the system or component.
