Rack warnings and cautions
WARNING: WARNING:
When all components are removed, the server weighs 6.00 kg (13.23 lb). When all components
are installed, the server can weigh up to 10.00 kg (22.05 lb).
Before configuring your rack solution, be sure to check the rack manufacturer weight limits and
specifications. Failure to do so can result in physical injury or damage to the equipment and the
facility.
WARNING: 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 6.00 kg (13.23 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: WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
The rack has anti-tip measures in place. Such measures include floor-bolting, anti-tip feet,
ballast, or a combination as specified by the rack manufacturer and applicable codes.
The leveling jacks (feet) are extended to the floor.
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks (feet).
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: 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: 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: 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.
