• Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.
• Do not e tend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
• Do not place any objects on the top of the rack-mounted devices.
• Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
• Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.
