Installation Methods
•
Perform one of the following rack installation methods to ensure the safe use of an ETERNUS DX that is
installed in a rack:
To secure a rack, use a rack without stabilizers and secure it to the building with the leveling feet.
-
If a rack is not to be secured, make sure to use a rack with stabilizers and use these stabilizers to prevent
-
the rack from toppling over.
Which installation method should be used depends on the installation location, the floor conditions, and
•
the type of racks that are to be used. Contact your installation contractor for more details regarding instal-
lation and how the installation should actually be performed.
The following figure shows the dimensions of the location on a floor in which a rack is secured.

pacity.
