• If possible, install the heaviest components at the bottom and lighter ones toward
the top of the rack.
• Make sure that the rack-mounting rails are level from front to back.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that:
1. The rack leveling jacks are extended to the floor. 2. The full weight of
the rack rests on the leveling jacks. 3. The stabilizing feet are attached to
the rack if it is a single rack installation. 4. The racks are coupled in
multiple rack installations. 5. Only one component is extended at a time.
A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for
any reason.
Before you begin
If you are installing the 1U rackmount enclosure in a rack with unmarked holes in the
vertical mounting bars, identify and mark the correct mounting holes in the rack before
you begin rail installation.
Caution: It is important to install rack components level. To ensure that the 1U
rackmount enclosure is installed correctly it may be necessary to measure
the height of the correct mounting holes in the front and rear vertical
mounting bars.
