Rack Precautions

Prev Next

Trellix recommends that you mount the appliance in a standard 19-inch rack. The vertical hole spacing on the rack rails must meet standard ANSI/EIA-310-C requirements.

Consider the following before installing your appliance in the rack:

  • Ensure the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

  • In a single-rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.

  • In a multiple-rack installation, the racks should be coupled together to increase their stability.

  • Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

  • Only extend one component from the rack at a time—extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

  • Ensure your rack meets the safety requirements of UL 60950-1.

Warning

STABILITY HAZARD: The rack may tip over causing serious personal injury. To prevent injury:

  • Before extending the rack to the installation position, read the installation instructions.

  • Do not put any load on the slide-rail mounted equipment when the rails are extended in the installation position.

  • Do not leave the slide-rail mounted equipment with the rails extended in the installation position.
