Safety and Rack-Mountable Systems

Read and follow all cautions, warnings, labels, and instructions on the rack and the systems to be stored in the rack. In addition to what is written there, follow the provided rack-mount instructions and these guidelines:

• Never pull more than one component out of the rack at a time. Doing so can cause the rack to tip over, which could cause bodily injury.
• The full weight of the rack must rest evenly on the floor, and the rack must be anchored mechanically, to ensure stability in the event of an earthquake.
• When installing the equipment in a rack, ensure that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• When mounting the equipment in the rack, be careful that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
