Rack Mount Safety Precautions
The following precautions should be followed with regards to rack mount
safety:
• Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the
MGC+/ReadiManager unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free
area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a
grounded power outlet.
• Ensure 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.
• In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from
the rack.
• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
• Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component
in the rack.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and
then work up.
• Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
• Always keep the rack’s front door and all the blade’s panels and
components closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
