Installing The Rack - HPE D3000 Installation Manual

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• At least two people lift the storage system during removal or installation if the weight exceeds 22.7 kg (50 lb).
If the system is being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person MUST assist with aligning the
system with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the system.
• The leveling jacks on the rack 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.
• Only one component in a rack is extended at a time. A rack might become unstable if more than one component
is extended.
• To prevent damage and to ease insertion of the device into the rack, support the weight of the device and keep
it level when sliding it into the rack.
