Overhead cabling installation and safety requirements

Any excess cable length must stay above the rack. There is not enough room inside of the rack to handle extra length, and excess cable might interfere with the service process, preventing concurrent repair. Consider the following specifications and limitations before you order this feature:

• In contrast to the raised-floor power cords, which have a length from the tailgate to the connector of about 4.9 m (16 ft), the length of the top exit power cords are only 1.8 m (6 ft) from the top of the storage system.
• Product safety requirements restrict the servicing of your overhead equipment to a maximum of 3 m (10 ft) from the floor. Therefore, your power source must not exceed 3 m (10 ft) from the floor and must be within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the top of the power cord exit gate. Servicing any overhead equipment higher than 3 m (10 ft) requires a special bid contract. Contact your technical service representatives for more information on special bids.
• To meet safety regulations in servicing your overhead equipment, you must purchase a minimum of one feature code 1101 for your top exit bracket feature per site. This feature code provides a safety-approved 5-foot ladder. This ladder provides technical service representatives the ability to perform power safety checks and other service activities on the top of your storage system. Without this approved ladder, technical service representatives are not able to install or service a storage system with the top-cable exit features.
