Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack
should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due
to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the con-
nection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this con-
cern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equip-
ment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power
strips).

Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensi-
tive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a
board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface.
Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrap-
per. Do not slide board over any surface.
