Deployment of rack servers, related equipment, and cables exceeds 1800
pounds for a single 42U rack.
External cable weight contributes to overall weight of the rack installation.
Carefully consider cable weight in all designs
Installation Requirement
 CAUTION: Be aware of the center of gravity and tipping hazards.
Installation should be such that a hazardous stability condition is avoided due
to uneven loading. We recommend that the rack footings extend 10 inches
from the front and back of any rack equipments 22U or higher.
Adequate stabilization measures are required. Ensure that the entire rack
assembly is properly secured and that all personnel are trained in proper
maintenance and operation procedures. Tipping hazards include personal
injury and death.
Power Input and Grounding
 CAUTION: Ensure your installation has adequate power supply and branch
circuit protection.
Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits
that could have an effect on over current protection and supply wiring. Reliable
grounding of this equipment must be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than
direct connections to the branch circuit.
Thermal Dissipation Requirement
 CAUTION: Thermal dissipation requirements of this equipment deployment
mandate minimum unrestricted airspace of three inches in both the front and
the rear. The ambient within the rack may be greater than room ambient.
Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation is not compromised. The maximum temperature for the equipment in
this environment is 122°F (50°C). Consideration should be given to the
maximum rated ambient.
