Cabinet Safety Precautions
WARNING Cabinets are heavy even when empty. Exercise caution when moving cabinets
whether equipment is installed in the cabinet or not. Avoid rolling cabinets on rough
or uneven surfaces or inclines greater than 10 degrees. Unloading cabinets from the
pallet and movement of cabinets should be performed by at least two people.
WARNING Slideable products are not to be extended from the cabinet while the equipment is
on the shipping pallet. The cabinet must be unloaded from the pallet and both front
and rear anti-tip feet properly installed prior to extending any slideable product.
WARNING Once installed, both the front and rear anti-tip feet must remain in place to maintain
stability. Only one slideable product must be extended at a time.
WARNING Use of any slide mount product requires the installation of a cabinet anti-tip device.
The anti-tip device for the following cabinet products is a pair of anti-tip feet:
A4900A, A4901A, A4902A, A5134A, A5135A, A5136A, J1500A, J1501A, and J1502A.
Install both front and rear anti-tip feet on the cabinet before installing any slide
mount product.
The anti-tip device for the following cabinets is the installation of ballast in the
bottom of the cabinet: A1896A, A1897A, A1883A, A1884A, C2785A, C2786A, and
C2787A.
To determine ballast requirements, refer to the ballast worksheets in documentation
accompanying the cabinet or http://www.hp.com/enclosures/c_rocs.htm
Failure to follow these precautions can result in damage to equipment or injury to
personnel

Sicherheitsvorkehrungen für Einbaugehäuse
WARNING Einbaugehäuse haben auch ohne Inhalt ein hohes Gewicht. Seien Sie also vorsichtig,
wenn Sie ein Gehäuse hin und her bewegen, sei es mit oder ohne installierten
Innenteilen. Rollen Sie das Gehäuse nach Möglichkeit nicht über rauhe oder
unebene Oberflächen bzw. Oberflächen mit mehr als 10 Grad Neigung. Das Abladen
von der Palette und Positionieren muß von mindestens zwei Personen durchgeführt
werden.
WARNING Ziehen Sie keine beweglichen Teile heraus, solange sich das Einbaugehäuse auf der
Palette befindet. Laden Sie es zunächst von der Palette ab, und stellen Sie es mit den
kippsicheren Vorder-und Hinterfüßen ordnungsgemäß auf, um bewegliche Teile
sicher herausziehen zu können.
WARNING Nach deren Installation dürfen die kippsicheren Füße nicht wieder entfernt werden,
um sicheren Stand zu gewährleisten. Ziehen Sie jeweils nur ein bewegliches Teil
heraus.
WARNING Bevor Sie auf Gleitschienen ruhende Produkte einbauen, müssen Sie für die
Kippsicherheit der Einbaugehäuse sorgen.
Bei den folgenden Gehäuseprodukten verwenden Sie dazu in Paaren gelieferte
kippsichere Füße: A4900A, A4901A, A4902A, A5134A, A5135A, A5136A, J1500A, J1501A
und J1502A.
Installieren Sie sowohl die vorderen als auch die hinteren kippsicheren Füße, bevor
Sie auf Gleitschienen ruhende Produkte einbauen.
Bei folgenden Einbaugehäusen wird die Kippsicherheit erzielt, indem der Schrank
unten mit Ballast beschwert wird: A1896A, A1897A, A1883A, A1884A, C2785A, C2786A
und C2787A.
Den erforderlichen Ballast können Sie den entsprechenden Arbeitsblättern in der
Dokumentation zum Einbaugehäuse entnehmen. Außerdem finden Sie diese

Consignes de sécurité relatives aux armoires
WARNING Une armoire est lourde même lorsqu’elle est vide. Faites preuve de prudence lorsque
vous en déplacer une, peu importe si des éléments y sont installés ou non. Évitez de
faire rouler l’armoire sur un sol irrégulier ou incliné à plus de 10 degrés. Il faut au
moins deux personnes pour décharger une armoire de la palette d’expédition et la
déplacer.
WARNING Ne faites pas glisser les éléments coulissants hors de l’armoire alors qu’elle se trouve
sur la palette d’expédition. Vous devez d’abord décharger l’armoire de la palette et
installer correctement les pieds antibasculement, en avant et en arrière, avant de
faire glisser les éléments coulissants.
WARNING Lorsqu’ils sont installés, les pieds antibasculement situés à l’avant et à l’arrière
doivent tous deux rester en place pour assurer la stabilité de l'armoire. Vous ne
devez faire glisser hors de l’armoire qu’un seul élément coulissant à la fois.
WARNING L'utilisation d'un élément coulissant exige l'installation préalable d'un dispositif
antibasculement.
Pour les armoires A4900A, A4901A, A4902A, A5134A, A5135A, A5136A, J1500A, J1501A
et J1502A, ce dispositif consiste en une paire de pieds antibasculement.
