SAFETY: Rack Mounting of Systems

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety.
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component"
refers to any system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION:
Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight
of the rack, a minimum of two people should perform this task.
CAUTION:
Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on
stand-alone racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to
install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a rack could cause the
rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances.
Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing components in the rack.
CAUTION:
After installing components in a rack, never pull more than one
component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more
than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result
in serious injury.
NOTE:
Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component
for use in a Dell rack cabinet using the customer rack kit. Systems are considered
to be components in a rack; thus, "component" refers to any system as well as
to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
The installation of your system and rack kit in any other rack cabinet has not been
approved by any safety agencies. It is your responsibility to ensure that the final
combination of system and rack complies with all applicable safety standards
and local electric code requirements. Dell disclaims all liability and warranties
in connection with such combinations.
• System rack kits are intended to be installed in an approved rack by trained
service technicians. If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that
the rack meets the specifications of a Dell rack.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to
the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests
on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front
stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
