Safety Precautions

This section describes safety precautions you must follow when installing the server into a rack.


Caution

Caution  -  Equipment damage or personal injury. Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack does not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack's anti-tilt device to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.



Caution

Caution  -  Component damage. 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. Always install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified for the server. For server environmental requirements, see Environmental Requirements.



Caution

Caution  -  Equipment damage. Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.



Caution

Caution  -  Circuit overloading. Give consideration to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate power ratings should be used when addressing this concern.



Caution

Caution  -  Equipment damage. Maintain reliable earthing. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).


The following table shows images that appear on the equipment to provide additional warnings:
