Look carefully for potential hazards in your work area: moist floors, ungrounded
power cables, frayed power cords, missing safety grounds and so forth.
Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.
Locate the emergency power OFF switch within the room.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit.
Use only the power cord supplied with the system.
The power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that has a protective
ground contact.
Ensure that the power cord is easily accessible from the back of the system at all times.
Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area where the vents are free from obstruction.
Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the RMX 1500 unit.
Do not use liquids around your equipment.
Keep the area around the RMX 1500 clean and free of clutter.
Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the RMX 1500 unit. It
should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it
placed near a grounded power outlet.
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor
with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component in the rack.
Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
Always keep the rack's trays and card's slots closed when not servicing, to maintain
proper cooling.
