Equipment Rack Precautions
SAFETY WARNINGS
ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be anchored
to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or
more servers are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The anchors
must be able to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs.). You must
also consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack.
M
AIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for installing an
AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect
must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to
the entire unit, not just to the server(s).
G
ROUNDING THE RACK INSTALLATION: To avoid the potential for an
electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding
conductor with the rack installation. If server power cords are plugged
into AC outlets that are part of the rack, then you must provide proper
grounding for the rack itself. If server power cords are plugged into
wall AC outlets, the safety grounding conductor in each power cord
provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide
additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed
in it.
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION: The server is designed for an
AC line voltage source with up to 20 amperes of overcurrent protection.
If the power system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch
circuit with more than 20 amperes of protection, you must provide
supplemental protection for the server. If more than one server is
installed in the rack, the power source for each server must be from a
separate branch circuit.
CAUTIONS
Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an
equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 35 °C (95 °F).
Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your
server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front
of the server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include ventilation
sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 1,500 Btu’s per hour for each server.
The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to the
environment in which the server will be used.
