Rack Cautions


Caution

Caution  - Equipment Loading: Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack does not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy the rack's anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.



Caution

Caution  - Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If the server is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment only in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified for the server.



Caution

Caution  - Reduced Air Flow: Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow is adequate for the safe operation of the equipment.



Caution

Caution  - Mechanical Loading: Mount the equipment in the rack so that the weight is distributed evenly. A hazardous condition can exist with uneven mechanical loading.



Caution

Caution  - Circuit Overloading: Do not overload the power supply circuits. Before connecting the server to the supply circuit, review the equipment nameplate power ratings and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.



Caution

Caution  - Reliable grounding: Maintain reliable grounding of rackmounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).



Caution

Caution  - Do not use slide rail mounted equipment as a shelf or a work space.



Caution

Caution  - Do not attempt to move the server alone without a lift. For a one-person installation, all the components must be removed and a lift must be used. For a two-person installation, all the components must be removed and a lift is optional.



Caution

Caution  - Due to the weight of the server, it should not be shipped while it is in a rack. Install the server into the rack only at its final location.



Caution

Caution  - There are two rail kits for the SPARC T5-4 server. If you have installed the old rail kit (part number 350-1662-02) without the shipping brace, you cannot ship the server in the rack. If you have installed the new rail kit (part number 7069640) with the shipping braces, there is no restriction on shipping the server in a rack.
