Rack warnings
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is
extended for any reason.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:
• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much
as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 21 m (7 ft) tall, and might become unstable when being moved on its
casters.
• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from
both sides.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, adequately stabilize the rack before
extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one component at a time. A rack may become unstable if
more than one component is extended.
WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is adequately secured at the top and
bottom to the building structure.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling
parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-
sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Procedure
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
