oThis document is subject to change without prior notification. No guarantees are given for the
accuracy of the information contained herein. The information is in particular not to be
understood to imply warranted qualities in any product.
oWear personal protective equipment (PPE) as applicable during installation. PPE may include
gloves, safety eyeglasses, hardhats, or additional equipment depending on exact job site
conditions.
oDo not leave the site unattended until the installation is complete.
Target group
oThis document is aimed at persons entrusted with the installation of IT racks and rack products.
Installation work must only be performed by trained persons. Tate assumes that you possess
the necessary qualifications to perform installation work and that you are aware of the hazards
which may arise when working with racks and rack products.

ATTENTION: THE RACK IS DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR USE
AS INTENDED IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS.
oAlso observe the information provided by the manufacturer(s) of the components to be
installed. Particular attention must be paid to the permissible environmental parameters, such
as temperature and humidity, and to the demands placed on the ambient air.
ATTENTION: IN CASE OF INSTALLATIONS WITH EXPOSED OR PARTIALLY EXPOSED
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LOCATED NEAR AN INFLAMMABLE SURFACE, THE
RACK MUST ALSO BE SEALED IN THE BASE WITH GLAND PLATES.
oFailure to observe this rule may lead to serious injuries and/or damage to the devices or
equipment.
Rack stabilization:
oStabilization measures are recommended or even imperative, depending on the place of
installation and/or the rack configuration.
Accessories:
oGrounding
Each Rack must be properly connected to the grounding system at the place of
installation before commissioning.
To this end, it is recommended that the central grounding point included in the scope of
supply is used.
Ground connections must only be made by trained expert personnel holding
corresponding certificates of qualification.
Rack configuration
oThe installation of devices and equipment must comply with the applicable regulations
pertaining to the installation of electrical and data processing devices and equipment.
THE RACK IS SPECIFIED FOR A MAXIMUM OF 3200LB STATIC TOTAL LOAD
CAPACITY.
oInstallation work must only be performed by trained expert personnel holding corresponding
certificates of qualification.
oDetermine the positions of the individual components before starting the actual configuration
of the Rack. Factors such as weight, accessibility, power supply requirements, temperature and
air circulation influence the order of installation and the positioning of the individual
components in the rack. The heaviest components should always be installed in the bottom of
the Rack, as that increases the stability of the rack.

EQUIPMENT SHOULD ALWAYS BE INSTALLED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE RACK
FIRST AND WORK TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE RACK. INSTALLING EQUIPMENT AT
THE TOP OF THE RACK FIRST MAY INCREASE RISK OF TIPPING.
IF ENCLOSURE IS USED IN A STAND-ALONE APPLICATION, IT MUST BE INSTALLED
WITH A BOLT-DOWN KIT.
At least two persons are required to install or remove equipment or components which weigh more
than 50 lbs (22.5 kg).
oAlways ensure proper fixing and safe placement of all components and rack elements.
oWhether installed as a stand-alone configuration or in a rack suite, Racks must always be closed
with appropriate side panels prior to commissioning.
oCaution in case of withdrawable components and component shelves
oTo avoid injuries or material damage, the Rack must be stabilised appropriately before pulling
out any withdrawable components or component shelves.
oAlways pull only one component or component shelf out at a time. The rack may become
unstable if several components are pulled out at once.
