Usage recommendations

For safe operation, verify floor loading and the capacity of raised-floor panels where applicable. Maintain adequate ventilation and leave space for airflow at device inlets and outlets; plan power and cooling according to the heat output of installed equipment. When moving a fully loaded cabinet, ensure castors and floor surfaces are rated for the total weight and follow site safety procedures to prevent tipping or damage.
