Safety Notices

To avoid a risk of injuries, installation should be performed by trained technical personnel.

It takes two to three people to unpack your server and two people to maneuver the server, after unpacking. A tall rack is quite unstable, especially when not fixed by stabilizers.

Your server is equipped with a front stabilizer. Engage the front stabilizer during installation. For stability and to distribute the weight, also attach side stabilizers or install two or more racks together. Otherwise, the rack may topple over and cause injuries.

If you extend two or more devices from the rack at the same time, the rack may topple over on you. Extend only one device from the rack at a time.

Exercise great care not to hurt your fingers on the rails when you mount/dismount the equipment into/from the rack.

! Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature – If installed in a closed or multi-unit

rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient environment. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with a maximum rated ambient temperature of 35°C.

WARNING

! Reduced air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that

the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

! To prevent fires, and damage to rack equipment and supply wiring, make sure

that the rated load of the power branch circuit is not exceeded. Equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. For more information on installation and wiring of power-related facilities, contact your electrician or local power company.

! To prevent electrical shock, connect all rack and rack support equipment to the

same electrical circuit of the building wiring. If you are unsure, check the building wiring to avoid remote earth conditions.

! For safe operation, only connect the equipment to a building supply that is in

accordance with current wiring regulations in your country. In the USA those wiring standards are regulated by Underwriter Laboratories (UL); in the U.K., by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, (IEE) and in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

Safety Notices for Users Outside of the U.S.A. and Canada

! PELV (Protected Extra-Low Voltage) Integrity: To ensure the extra-low

voltage integrity of the equipment, connect only equipment with mains-protected electrically-compatible circuits to the external ports.

! Remote Earths: To prevent electrical shock, connect all local (individual office)

computers and computer support equipment to the same electrical circuit of the building wiring. If you are unsure, check the building wiring to avoid remote earth conditions.

! Earth Bonding: For safe operation, only connect the equipment to a building

supply that is in accordance with current wiring regulations in your country. In the USA those wiring standards are regulated by Underwriter Laboratories (UL); in the U.K., by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, (IEE) and in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
