Rack system safety precautions

  • Before installing a Disk Enclosure into the rack, see the Safe handling CAUTION and the Installing the Disk Enclosure WARNING.
  • The rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed enclosures. The design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from tipping or being pushed over during installation or in normal use.
  • When loading a rack with enclosures, fill the rack from the bottom up. Empty the rack from the top down. Heavier enclosures should be located beneath lighter enclosures for optimal stability.
  • Do not try to lift the enclosure by yourself.
