1.6.2 Installation Methods
•
Perform one of the following rack installation methods to ensure the safe use of an ETERNUS DX that is
installed in a rack:
-
To secure a rack, use a rack without stabilizers and secure it to the building with the leveling feet.
-
If a rack is not to be secured, make sure to use a rack with stabilizers and use these stabilizers to prevent
the rack from toppling over.
•
Which installation method should be used depends on the installation location, the floor conditions, and
the type of racks that are to be used. Contact your installation contractor for more details regarding instal-
lation and how the installation should actually be performed.
The following figure shows the dimensions of the location on a floor in which a rack is secured.
