Rack Installation Guide 7
Rack Stabilizer Feet
CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone racks or the front
stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a
rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances.
Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing components in the rack.
CAUTION: After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component out of the rack on
its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip
over and may result in serious injury.
The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over when a system or other component is pulled out
of the rack with the slide assemblies fully extended. See the documentation provided with the rack cabinet
for instructions on installing and anchoring the stabilizer feet.
