Safety Precautions When Rackmounting the Storage Server
This section describes safety precautions you must follow when installing the storage server into a rack.
 | Caution - Leveling feet position: When unpacking at the installation site, or when repackaging and moving the rack to a new location, verify that the leveling feet are up before moving the rack. |
| Caution - Stabilize Rack: Deploy the anti-tilt bar or legs on the equipment rack before beginning an installation. |
| Caution - Elevated operating ambient temperature: If the storage 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, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified for the storage server. For storage server environmental requirements, see Environmental Specifications. |
| Caution - Reduced airflow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. |
| Caution - Mechanical loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven mechanical loading. |
 | Caution - Circuit overloading: Consideration should be given 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 - Reliable earthing: Reliable earthing of rackmounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips). |
| Caution - Mounted Equipment: Slide-rail-mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space. |
