Therefore, consider the lowest and highest operating temperatures of the
equipment when making a decision about where to install the appliance in the rack.
Rack Precautions
w
Make sure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to
the floor, with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
w
For a single-rack installation, attach a stabilizer to the rack.
w
For a multiple-rack installation, couple (attach) the racks together.
w
Always make sure that the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
w
Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more simultaneously might
cause the rack to become unstable.
w
The handles on the left and right of the front panel of the appliance should be used
only for extending the appliance out of the rack. Do not use these handles for
mounting the appliance on the rack. Use the rack-rail hardware, described later,
instead.
