Safety instructions
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to convert your system into a rack unless authorized by Dell. Only
customers certified by Dell for tower to rack conversion can convert a tower system into a rack
system.
NOTE: For specific caution statements and procedures, see the rack installation documentation for
your system at dell.com/poweredgemanuals. For complete safety and regulatory information, see
the safety instructions that shipped with your system.
Observe the following precautions for stability and safety of the system in rack mode:
• Before installing your equipment in a rack, install the front and side rack stabilizers. Failure to install
stabilizers can allow the rack to tip over.
• Always load from the bottom up, and load the heaviest items first.
• Do not overload the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
