Rack Considerations

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to 
the equipment, be sure that:   
•  The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.  
•  The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.  
•  The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack, if it is a 
single-rack installation.  
•  The racks are coupled in multiple-rack installations.  
•  Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may 
become unstable if more than one component is extended 
for any reason.
