Rack Stabilizer Feet

CAUTION:
Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on
stand-alone racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to
install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a rack could cause the
rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances.
Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing components in the rack.
The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over. See the
documentation provided with the rack cabinet for instructions on installing
and anchoring the stabilizer feet.
