Rack Warnings
WARNING:
Always load the heaviest item first and load the rack
from the bottom up. This makes the rack “bottom-heavy” and helps
prevent the rack from becoming unstable.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to
the equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that
provides power to
the rack.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, the bottom stabilizers on the equipment must be fully
extended. Be sure that the equipment is properly supported/braced
when installing options and cards.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, at least two people are needed to safely unload the rack
from the pallet. An empty 42U rack weighs 253 lb (115 kg), is over
seven ft (2.1m) tall, and may become unstable when being moved
on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it rolls down the
ramp from the pallet; handle it from the sides.
WARNING:
A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before
extending a component outside the rack, and extend only one
component at a time.
WARNING:
Before beginning work on the rack, be sure that the
leveling jacks are extended to the floor, that the full weight of the
rack rests on the level floor, and that either stabilizers are installed
or multiple racks are coupled for stability.
