Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help

protect your server, storage system, or appliance from potential damage. For com-

plete safety, regulatory, and warranty information, refer to your system’s System

Information booklet.

Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack

installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific warn-

ing and/or caution statements and procedures.

Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered to be components in a rack.

Thus, “component” refers to any server, storage system, or appliance, as well as to

various peripherals or supporting hardware.

WARNING: Installing Dell system components in a Dell rack without the

front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, poten-

tially 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

injure someone.

NOTE: Dell’s servers, storage systems, and appliances are certified as components

for use in Dell’s rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The final installation of

Dell systems and rack kits in any other brand of rack cabinet has not been approved by

any safety agencies. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the final combination of

Dell systems and rack kits for use in other brands of rack cabinets evaluated for suit-

ability by a certified safety agency.

•System rack kits are intended to be installed in a Dell 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.

•Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack,

Dell recommends a minimum of two people to accomplish this task.

•Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secure to the rack,

extend 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 com-

ponent into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

•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 system/component when servicing other

systems/components in a rack.
