Best practices for rack installation
The heaviest equipment should be installed at the bottom of a rack. The heavy devices that are installed at the top of a rack make the rack "top-heavy", or unstable. Unstable racks jeopardize staff and equipment safety and are subject to risk.
When you install more than one device per rack, do the following:
Find out how much each device weighs.
Note:
A storage device is heavier than an appliance and must always be installed under the appliance.
Determine device order and cabling limits.
Be aware of the depth of the guide rails and the devices. Ensure that the distance between cabinet posts accommodates the rails and devices.
The rack rails that are provided for the storage shelf are extensible to 36" (914mm). This distance is the maximum depth that is allowed between rack posts. If the distance between rack posts is longer than 36" (914mm) the rails and the appliance cannot be properly installed. The width of the storage shelf is 19" (482.6mm).
If your rack dimensions do not conform to these requirements contact technical support.
