Rack Warnings and Precautions
Before beginning these procedures, make sure you understand the following
warnings and caution.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment, at least two people are needed to safely unload
the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack weighs 253 LB (115
kg), is over seven ft (2.1m) tall, and may become unstable when
being moved on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it
rolls down the ramp from the pallet, but handle it from the sides.
WARNING:
Because the rack allows you to stack computer
components on a vertical rather than a horizontal plane, you must
take precautions to provide for rack stability and safety. It is
important that you follow these basic instructions to protect both
personnel and property, and that you heed all cautions and
warnings throughout the installation instructions.
WARNING:
Always load the heaviest item first and always load
the rack from the bottom up. This will make the rack "bottom-
heavy" and help prevent the rack from becoming unstable. See
"Rules for the Rack Builder" on the Compaq Installing Rack
Products CD for the rules that govern the vertical placement of
rack-mounted components.
WARNING:
A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, always ensure that the rack is adequately
stabilized before extending a component outside the rack, and
extend only one component at a time.
