Safety Tips

WARNING It is the customer's responsibility, working with their third party rack supplier, to
ensure proper rack installation, anti-tipping devices, power ratings, power
connectors, and secure earth ground are achieved for all installations in third
party racks.
WARNING Lift Components Properly. Do not attempt to lift any of the components by
yourself. Use an OSHA approved equipment-lifting device. Follow all OSHA
lifting rules and regulations.
If a rack loading hand truck is not available, two to three people are needed to
lift heavy components. Reduce weight by removing power supplies and hard disk
modules from the NAS server, array, UPS, and library for mounting.
Tipping hazard exists while removing rack from the pallet. Rack should be
steadied and kept from tipping by 2 or 3 people while removing rack from the
pallet. Position people so that rack does not tip over causing injury. Take special
care as rack wheels roll off end of ramp onto floor: Ensure wheels do not lock
and cause tipping.
