Hitachi Advanced Server DS120 Hardware Manual page 8

Install equipment in the rack from the bottom up, with the heaviest equipment at the bot-
tom of the rack.
Extend only one piece of equipment from the rack at a time.
You are responsible for installing a main power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This
main disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to
the entire unit, not just to the system(s).
To avoid risk of potential electric shock, a proper safety ground must be implemented for
the rack and each piece of equipment installed in it.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the oper-
ating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufac-
turer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount
of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a haz-
ardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
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-cur-
rent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

WHEN HANDLING PARTS
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only
by their edges without any component and pin touching. After removing a board from its
protective wrapper or from the system, place the board component side up on a
grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board
wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
