the rack installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack

Systems are considered to be components in a rack. "Component" refers to
any system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Instructions for Rack-Mounted Systems:
• Your rack kit has been approved only for the rack cabinet provided.
It is your responsibility to ensure that installation of the equipment
into any other rack complies with all applicable standards. Dell disclaims
all liability and warranties with respect to combinations of equipment
with any other rack.
• Before installing your equipment in a rack, install all front and side
stabilizers. Failure to install stabilizers can allow the rack to tip over.
• Always load from the bottom up, and load the heaviest items first.
• Do not overload the AC power supply branch circuit that provides
power to the rack.
• Do not stand or step on any components in the rack.
