Appliance physical installation procedure and precautions
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rack.
• Install the equipment near an electrical outlet for easy access.
• Mount equipment in a rack with suicient airflow for safe operation.
• For a closed or multiple-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack envi-
ronment might be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consider the
lowest and highest operating temperatures of the equipment when making a decision about
where to install the appliance in the rack.
Most appliances can be installed in standard server racks that conform to EIA-310-D specification. The
appliances ship with a set of rails, which you must install before you mount the appliance. The only
tools that you need for installing an appliance are a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver.
Warning: If you are installing the appliance as the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom. If the
rack contains other units, make sure that the heaviest unit is at the bottom. If the rack has stabilizing
devices available, install them before mounting the appliance.
Your appliance requires one or two rack units depending on the height of the appliance.
Cautions
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your equipment.
• Do not place any objects on the appliance.
• Do not cover vent holes on the side of the appliance.
• Metal surface of the appliance can get heated up.
• Use caution when touching the metal surface of the appliance.
Electrical safety precautions
During installation or maintenance procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to
the electronics of the appliance. Use a conductive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground or to
the appliance. You can attach it to the connector beside the ESD symbol on the back.
Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the appliance from dam-
age.
• Be aware of the location of the emergency power o (EPO) switch, so that you can quickly re-
move power to the appliance if an electrical accident occurs.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical
shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been designed as electrical insulators.
• Ensure that the power supply cords include grounding plugs and are plugged into grounded
electrical outlets.
