Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must
take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The
following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the
only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack
from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the
bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the
stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
