If the rack is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the components can adversely affect the air flow and cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with filler panels. See Install a Filler Panel for installation instructions.
Take measures to prevent static electricity from being generated at the installation location. Discharging static electricity from a finger or another conductor might damage static-sensitive equipment installed in the rack.
To prevent electrostatic discharge:
Keep electrostatic-sensitive equipment in their antistatic packaging until they are installed in the rack.
Always wear an antistatic wrist strap whenever installing or servicing rack equipment (see Attach an Antistatic Wrist Strap).
Attach a chassis ground cable to the rack (for instructions, see Servicing Grounding Straps).
