•
In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack in-
stallations, the racks should be coupled together.
•
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a system or other component from
the rack.
•
You should extend only one system or component at a time - extending two or more si-
multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

System Precautions

•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in
•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
•
Install the heaviest system components at the bottom of the rack first and then work your
way up.
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the system from power
surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
•
Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
•
When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the
systems closed to maintain proper cooling.

Workstation Precautions

•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the workstation from power
surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
•
Allow the power supply units and hot-swap drives to cool before touching them.
•
To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed and all SATA carriers
installed when not being serviced.

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the
rack environment may be higher than the room's ambient temperature. Therefore, make sure
