Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack
installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution
statements and procedures.
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any
system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers
installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury
under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before
installing components in the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one
component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of
more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may
result in serious injury.
NOTE: Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use
in a Dell rack cabinet using the customer rack kit. The installation of your system and rack
kit in any other rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is your
responsibility to have the final combination of system and rack kit in a rack cabinet
evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency. Dell disclaims all liability and
warranties in connection with such combinations.
• System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians. If
you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications of a
Dell rack.
CAUTION: Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the
rack, a minimum of two people should accomplish this task.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,
extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install
front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks
before working on the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the
rack.
