Rack Mounting the SteelFusion Edge Appliances Required tools and equipment
 Make sure the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
 Make sure the rack is level and stable before pulling a component out of the rack.
 Make sure only one component is extended at a time. A rack might become unstable if more than
one component is extended.
 Ensure that there is adequate airflow in the rack. Improper installation or restricted airflow can
damage the appliance.
 The rack cannot have solid or restricted airflow doors. You must use a mesh door on the front and
back of the rack or remove the doors to ensure adequate airflow to the appliance.
 The rack width and depth must allow for proper serviceability and cable management.
 Ensure that there is adequate airflow in the rack. Improper installation or restricted airflow can
damage the appliance.
 Make sure the product is properly mated with the rails. Products that are improperly mated with
the rails might be unstable.
 Verify that the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack is not overloaded.
Overload power increases the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the appliance. The total
rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult the electrical authority
having jurisdiction over your facility wiring and installation requirements.
 The appliances produce front-to-back cooling airflow that requires an unobstructed airflow to the
fan housing. Do not mount the appliance near other electronic devices that produce back-to-front
airflow.
 This appliance is for use only in a machine room or IT room.
 Make sure that the area in which you install the appliance is properly ventilated and climate
controlled.
 Ensure the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage and frequency inscribed
on the electrical rating label of the appliance.
 Do not install the appliance in or near a plenum, air duct, radiator, or heat register.
