place any object on top of rack mounted devices.

vEach rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Ensure that all

power cords in the rack cabinet are disconnected before servicing any

device in the rack cabinet.

will exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all your

rack mounted devices.

vDo not install aunit in arack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that

air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side of the unit.

vConsideration should 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 arack, refer to the rating labels located 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 atime. The rack may become unstable if you pull out more than

one drawer at atime.
