Handling Precautions

Secure Installation Requirements

Placement of a Product

Note - Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment. Oracle Corp. is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified product.

Handling Precautions

Caution - A fully populated cabinet can weigh in excess of 1500 pounds (682 kg). Ensure that all surfaces this system will move over can withstand this load.

The cabinet is equipped with wheels so you can move it. Use enough personnel when moving the cabinet, especially on sloped loading docks and ramps, to gain access to a raised computer room floor. Move the cabinet slowly and deliberately, and make sure that the floor is free from foreign objects and cables that the cabinet could roll over.

Caution - To avoid injury, wear protective footwear when moving a system.

Secure Installation Requirements

To minimize personnel injury in the event of a seismic occurrence, you must securely fasten the cabinet to a rigid structure extending from the floor to the ceiling, or from the walls, of the room in which the cabinet is located.

Install the cabinet on a level surface. At each corner, on the base of the cabinet, are adjustable nonskid pads. Extend these pads when the cabinet is installed to prevent the cabinet from rolling. Do not use these pads to level the cabinet.

Placement of a Product

Allow enough room surrounding the cabinet for access to the cabinet and arrays for maintenance.

Caution - Do not block or cover the openings of your product. Never place a product near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause overheating and affect the reliability of your product.

Air cools the system cabinets from front to back. Air enters at the front, circulates, and is expelled at the back of the cabinet. The front and back door clearances provide sufficient space for cooling. See Chapter 2 for specific clearance specifications.
