will be installed meets temperature and power requirements and that the server cabinet or floor-to-ceiling cabinet is
securely bolted to the floor and has sufficient airflow.
Only trained and qualified personnel should install, maintain, or replace the appliance, and efforts should be taken to ensure
that all cautions and warnings are followed.
