Rack warnings

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:

• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack:

• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.
• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.

WARNING: Components can be very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

• Remove all pluggable power supplies and modules to reduce the weight of the product before lifting it.
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails. When the component weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb), at least two people must lift the component into the rack together. If the component is loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist in aligning the rails while the other two support the component.
• Use caution when installing the component in or removing the component from the rack; it is unstable when not fastened to the rails.
