Rack safety
The following general safety information must be used for all rack mounted devices.
DANGER
v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v To avoid hazardous conditions because of uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices, starting from the
bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Rack mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or workspace. Do not place any object on top of
rack mounted devices.
v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the
rack cabinet before you service any device in the rack cabinet.
v Connect all devices that are installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device that is installed in one rack cabinet into a power
device that is installed in a different rack cabinet.
v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired might place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the
system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that
the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Safety and environmental notices xxiii
Caution
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures might exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack mounted devices.
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked
or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit that is used for air flow through the unit.
v Consideration must be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels on the equipment in the rack
to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
v (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are
not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become
unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
v (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or out of the rack might cause
the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
(R001)
Caution
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during
relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room
or building:
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment, starting at the top of the rack cabinet.
When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If
this configuration is not known, you must do the following:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices that are installed in the rack cabinet below
the 32U level.
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from the
suite.
v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the
documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2032 mm (30 x 80 in.).
v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket that is installed on the rack cabinet during movement.
v Do not use a ramp that is inclined at more than 10 degrees.
v When the rack cabinet is in the new location:
xxiv IBM TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library: Setup, Operator, and Service Guide Machine Type 3573
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest
position to the highest position.
v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet
as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower
the leveling pads to raise the casters off the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.
(R002)
