Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
Elevated Operating Ambient – If the server is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature in the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to the maximum operating temperature specified in the environmental
specifications.
Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the server in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the server in the rack should not create a hazardous condition from
uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading – Connection of the equipment to the supply circuit should not create an overloaded
situation. Pay close attention to equipment nameplate ratings.
Reliable Grounding – Appliances mounted in racks should be grounded properly. If using power strips to
connect the server to the supply circuit, make certain that the power strips are also grounded properly.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the rack and the provided rail system are compatible with each other
before installing the server.
Install the front and side stabilizers prior to installing equipment in a rack. Failure to install stabilizers may
cause a rack to tip over.
Load racks from the bottom up, loading the heaviest items near the bottom of the rack.
Do not stand or step on components in the rack.
Do not use slide-rail-mounted equipment as a shelf or workspace. Do not add weight to the top of the server.
WARNING Grounding Instructions for Qualified Electricians Only.
Grounding techniques may vary. However, a positive connection to a safety (earth) ground is required.
Make the ground connection first and disconnect it last to prevent hazards.
Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground
conductor.
If the system is installed in a rack, ensure that the system chassis is securely grounded to the rack cabinet
frame. Do not connect power to the system until grounding cables are connected.
