Ensure System Safety
To ensure system safety, follow these guidelines:
• Keep the area around the ReadiManager SE200 appliance clean and
uncluttered.
• To lift the appliance, two people (one at each end) must lift slowly, with
their feet spread apart to distribute the weight evenly. Always keep your
back straight and lift with your legs.

ReadiManager SE200 Getting Started Guide
Electrical Safety Precautions
To ensure electrical safety, follow these guidelines:
• Find the power switch for the appliance, and the room's emergency
power-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical
accident occurs, shut off power quickly.
• Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
• Use rubber mats that supply electrical insulation.
• The power-supply power cords must include a grounding plug. Connect
them into grounded electrical outlets only.
Rack-Mount Safety Precautions
To ensure rack-mount safety, follow these guidelines:
• Find a good location for the equipment rack. Choose a clean, dust-free,
area with good airflow near a grounded power outlet. Avoid areas with
high-levels of heat, electrical noise, or electromagnetic discharge.
• Fully extend the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack to the floor, so the
full weight of the rack rests on them.
• In a single-rack installation, attach stabilizers to the rack.
• In multiple-rack installations, couple the racks together.
• Make sure the rack is stable before you extend a component from the rack.
• You should extend only one component at a time. If you extend two or
more components at the same time, the rack can become unstable.
• Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then
work up.
• Use a regulating, un-interruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the
system from power surges, voltage spikes, and power failures.
• Let the power supply cool before you touch it.
• To let the components cool adequately, keep the rack's front door and all
panels and components on the systems closed, except during maintenance.
