It is recommended to arrange the screenor rack-mountable flat panel monitor, a minimum of 4U’s above the keyboardtray. Most customers prefer placement of the video system high in the rack,especially in a full rack, to allow easier access to serviceability of other systemcomponents below it. If you are using a 22U rack, place the monitor on top ofthe rack frame.Balance When baying racks to create a row, be sure to distribute the weight load amongthe racks and place the heaviest components at the bottom of each rack. Forexample, if you have several UPS units and several servers, do not put all of theUPS units into one rack—distribute the weight evenly in the bottom positions ofeach rack.Additional resourcesFor further information regarding component placement, refer to the Important Safety Instructions thatare shipped with the rack and the Safety and Comfort Guide - Precautions for Server and NetworkProducts located at www.hp.com (search for the safety and comfort guide).
