Rack Warnings; Identifying The Contents Of The Server Shipping Carton; Installing Hardware Options; Installing The Server Into The Rack - HP ProLiant DL388 User Manual

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power
source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building's branch circuit or
includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those
complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for
the server is not recommended.

Rack warnings

WARNING:
The leveling jacks 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 is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one
•
component is extended for any reason.
WARNING:
• 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 may 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.
