POWER AND GROUNDING OF ALL RACKS
When using PDUs, each PDU should be connected to a committed branch circuit that is rated
for the continuous load of all the equipment connected. When not using a PDU, each piece of
equipment should be connected to a dedicated branch circuit.
PROTECTIVE EARTHING/GROUNDING
A main protective earthing stud is provided.
WARNING:
To avoid injury to persons or loss of life, ground rack individually to the dedicated branch circuit
earthing ground.
CONNECTING MAIN PROTECTIVE EARTHING STUD TO THE DEDICATED BRANCH CIRCUIT
EARTHING GROUND CONDUCTOR
Connect the dedicated branch circuit earthing ground conductor to the main protective earthing
stud located on the support frame using a listed ring or closed-loop terminal.
PARTS NOT BONDED TO PROTECTIVE EARTHING TERMINAL
The following parts are not eectively bonded to the protective earthing terminal: Top Cable
Waterfall. If these parts need to be bonded to the protective earthing terminal, do so in accordance
with Article 250 of the National Electric Code.
Although equipment may physically t into a Great Lakes rack, with or without brackets,
customers must also review and comply with the equipment manufacturer’s installation and
other requirements. For more information, please contact your Great Lakes representative or call
1-866-TRY-GLCC.
When any equipment or accessory is installed in a Great Lakes product, the installation procedures,
recommendations and product warranty requirements of the equipment manufacturer must be
followed. Great Lakes will not be responsible for any losses or claims arising from a customer’s
installation of electrical, electronic or other third party products in any Great Lakes racks, unless
caused solely by a written conguration prepared by Great Lakes for that customer or by a
conguration provided by Great Lakes’ website, any conguration relies on complete and accurate
information from the customer.
Product specications are subject to change without prior notice.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
WARNING: Improper handling and use of the racks could result in equipment damage, serious
injury, or possible death.
Only trained service personnel should be used to remove the enclosure from the pallet. Also, be
sure you have a sucient number of service personnel. Do not attempt to move enclosures by
yourself.
LOADING EQUIPMENT
WARNING: Only install equipment after the ER Rack has been properly secured. Do not move the
ER Rack assembly while loaded. To maintain a uniform distribution of the mechanical load in the ER
Rack, load the heaviest equipment rst, at the bottom of the ER Rack and load the lighter units at the
top.
Only UL® Listed ITE (Information Technology Equipment) units should be installed inside the rack.
Be sure to read and follow all individual manufacturer equipment manuals for safety and installation
instructions.
Proper spacing is required when installing electrical equipment to avoid electrical shock. Maintain
minimum spacing between the accessories and components and the computer enclosure assembly
for safe operation of the equipment when installed in accordance with the National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999.
The ambient temperature operating range for the racks and accessories is +50 to +95° F (+10 to
+35° C). The non-operating temperature is -4 to +140° F (-20 to +60° C).
