Target group
This document is aimed at persons entrusted
with the installation of IT racks and rack prod-
ucts. Installation work must only be performed

of the hazards which may arise when working
with racks and rack products.
Safety notes
Danger!
Immediate danger to life and
limb.
Unpacking and moving
◾ Attention: The TS IT rack is top-heavy and can tilt
over. At least two persons are required when mov-
ing or unpacking the rack.
◾ Failure to observe this rule may lead to serious
injuries and/or material damage.
Operating environment
◾ Attention: The TS IT rack is designed exclusively
for use as intended in indoor environments.
◾ Also 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 TS IT rack must
also be sealed in the base with gland plates.

482.6 mm (19˝) level adjustments
◾ Attention: Hazards due to falling devices and
equipment. If the mounting angles/mounting
frames/swing frames are to be adjusted, no de-
vices or equipment must be installed on them.
◾ Failure to observe this rule may lead to serious in-
juries and/or damage to the devices or equipment.
Rack stabilisation
Stabilisation measures are recommended or
even imperative, depending on the place of
installation and/or the rack configuration.
Accessories:
Stabilisers/floor brackets, see Catalogue.
Earthing
◾ Each TS IT rack must be properly connected to
the earthing system at the place of installation
before commissioning.
◾ To this end, it is recommended that the central
earthing point included in the scope of supply is
used.
◾ Earth connections must only be made by trained
expert personnel holding corresponding certifi-
cates of qualification.
Rack configuration
◾ The installation of devices and equipment must
comply with the applicable regulations pertaining
to the installation of electrical and data processing
devices and equipment.
◾ Installation work must only be performed by
trained expert personnel holding corresponding
certificates of qualification.
◾ Determine the positions of the individual compo-
nents before starting the actual configuration of the
TS IT 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 TS IT rack, as that
increases the stability of the rack.
◾ At least two persons are required to install or
remove equipment or components which weigh
more than 22.5 kg.
◾ Always ensure proper fixing and safe placement of
all components and rack elements.
◾ Whether installed as a stand-alone configuration or
in a rack suite, TS IT racks must always be closed
with appropriate side panels prior to commissio-
ning.

Caution in case of withdrawable compo-
nents and component shelves
◾ To avoid injuries or material damage, the TS IT
rack must be stabilised appropriately before pulling
out any withdrawable components or component
shelves.
◾ Always pull only one component or component
shelf out at a time. The rack may become unstable
if several components are pulled out at once.
