Before you install the support rails, review the following guidelines:
- Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal-rack
ambient temperature exceeds the lowest manufacturer-recommended ambient
temperature for all of your rack-mounted devices.
- Do not install a unit in a rack where the air
flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked or reduced
on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the
unit.
- Ensure that the equipment is connected properly
to the supply circuit so that the circuits do not overload and compromise
the supply wiring or overcurrrent protection.
- Plan the device installation by starting at the
bottom of the rack cabinet to ensure that the rack is stable and cannot
tip over.
- Install the heaviest device in the bottom of
the rack cabinet.
- Do not install a SAN Volume Controller node
directly above the pull-out monitor and keyboard of the IBM® System Storage® Productivity
Center (SSPC)
server. The front panel of the node protrudes beyond the front of
the rack and overlaps part of the monitor, which prevents you from
opening it.
