Caution: Safety Instructions (continued)
Rack Mounting of Systems
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack
installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution
statements and procedures.
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any
system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers
installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury
under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before
installing components in the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one
component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of
more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may
result in serious injury.
NOTE: Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use in a Dell™
rack cabinet using the customer rack kit. The installation of your system and rack kit in any other
rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is your responsibility to have the final
combination of system and rack kit in a rack cabinet evaluated for suitability by a certified safety
agency. Dell disclaims all liability and warranties in connection with such combinations.
• System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians. If
you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications of a
Dell rack.
CAUTION: Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the
rack, a minimum of two people should accomplish this task.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,
extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install
front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks
before working on the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from
the rack.
• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a
component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
Dell PowerConnect RPS-600 Setup Guide 7
Caution: Safety Instructions (continued)
• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking
position, and then slide the component into the rack.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The
total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
• Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in
a rack.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
CAUTION: A qualified electrician must perform all connections to DC power and
to safety grounds. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or
national codes and practices.
CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that
suitable grounding is available.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet
frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables
are connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by
a qualified electrical inspector. An energy hazard will exist if the safety ground
cable is omitted or disconnected.
Modems, Telecommunications, or Local Area Network Options
• Do not connect or use a modem during a lightning storm. There may be a risk of
electrical shock from lightning.
• Never connect or use a modem in a wet environment.
• Do not plug a modem or telephone cable into the network interface controller (NIC)
receptacle.
• Disconnect the modem cable before opening a product enclosure, touching or
installing internal components, or touching an uninsulated modem cable or jack.
8 Dell PowerConnect RPS-600 Setup Guide
When Using Your System
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your system. Damage
due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic
components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to
install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic
packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor
pads and workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.
NOTE: Your system may also include circuit cards or other components that contain batteries. These
batteries must also be disposed of in a battery deposit site. For information about such batteries,
refer to the documentation for the specific card or component.

THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO
HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION
TO JURISDICTION). DELL'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR MALFUNCITONS AND
DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT AS SET
FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN TIME TO THE TERM
OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD REFLECTED ON YOUR INVOICE. NO
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE
LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THIS
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILTY FOR THIRD
PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES, FOR PRODUCTS NOT BEING

How long does this limited warranty last?
This limited warranty lasts for the time period indicated on your invoice, except that the
limited warranty on Dell-branded batteries lasts only one year and the limited warranty on the
lamps for Dell-branded projectors lasts only ninety days. The limited warranty begins on the

but any changes will not be retroactive.

What will Dell do?
During the first 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited
warranties: For the first 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other
limited warranties, we will repair any Dell-branded hardware products returned to us that prove
to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not able to repair the product, we will
replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include
with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging,
prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or
damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay
to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States
(excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the
product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and
inform you of service alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard
drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary,
or personal information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are
not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or
corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will replace
any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When
you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you request a
replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the
original part to us within thirty days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not
receive the original part within thirty days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current
standard price for that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto
Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We
will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for your use in
returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any
other storage device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract?
If your on-site service contract is with Dell, on-site service will be provided to you under the
terms of the on-site service agreement. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain
service.
If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers,
please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
