Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door

completely (~25 inches).

• Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for

sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

Warning

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the

floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.

• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more

simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

• Review the General Safety Precautions.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the

rails.

• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then

work up.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.

• Allow the power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drive to cool before

touching them.

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
