Rack Installation Safety Guidelines

Before installing your device in a rack, review the following guidelines:

·          Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.

·         Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).

·         Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper airflow.

·         Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.

·         Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.

·         Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.

·         Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.

·         Connect the device to a properly grounded outlet.

·         Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.

·         Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb. (50 kg) on top of rack-mounted devices.
