WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or
equipment damage when unloading a rack:
• 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.
