• Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected to
the work surface, and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.
• Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids
and foam packing.
• Ensure that you are always properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry.
• Always place drives with the printed circuit board assembly-side down.
• Use conductive field service tools.
Racks
Ensure that precautions have been taken to ensure rack stability and safety. Observe all cautions
and warnings included in the installation instructions.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Observe local occupational safety requirements and guidelines for heavy equipment handling.
• Obtain assistance to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal. Use at least
two people to safely unload the rack from the pallet.
• Extend the leveling jacks to the floor.
• Rest the full weight of the rack on the leveling jacks.
• Attach stabilizing feet to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
• Ensure the racks are coupled in a multiple-rack installation.
• Fully extend the bottom stabilizers on the equipment. Ensure that the equipment is properly
supported and braced when installing options and boards.
• Be careful when sliding rack components with slide rails into the rack. The slide rails can pinch
your fingertips.
• Ensure the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a rack component with slide rails
outside the rack. Extend only one rack component at a time. A rack can become unstable if
more than one component is extended.
• Verify the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack is not overloaded.
Overloading AC power to the rack power supply branch circuit increases the risk of personal
injury, fire, and damage to the equipment. The total rack load should not exceed 80% of the
branch circuit rating. Consult the electrical authority with jurisdiction over your facility wiring
and safety electrical requirements before performing the installation.
• Remove all pluggable power supplies and modules to reduce the weight of the product.
• Always load the heaviest item first, from the bottom of the rack and up. This makes the rack
bottom-heavy and more stable.
• Do not attempt to move a fully loaded equipment rack. Remove equipment from the rack before
moving the rack.
Inspecting the Packaging
Before unpacking any boxes, inspect the packaging for crushes, cuts, water damage, or any other
evidence of mishandling during transit. If there is any damage, photograph the packaging for
future reference.
