Rack guidelines
Use the following guidelines to ensure proper rack installation.
The heaviest devices in any equipment rack should be installed in the bottom of the rack. If heavy devices are installed at the top of the rack, the rack may tip over. Injury to personnel and damage to equipment is very possible. The Storage Shelf is heavier than the appliance. Therefore, you must install the storage shelf in the bottom of the rack. Install the appliance on top of the storage shelves.
Ensure that the rack is properly installed and grounded.
The rack rails that are provided for the appliance are extensible to 31.5" (800mm). The part number of these rails is AXXPRAIL. This distance is the maximum depth that is allowed between rack posts. If the distance between rack posts is longer than 31.5" (800mm) the rails and the appliance cannot be properly installed. Other rails may have different lengths. The width of the appliance is 19" (482.6mm).
The rack rails that are provided for the 3U16 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 3U storage shelf is 19" (482.6mm).
Make sure that the installation location has extra space for the following:
Front bezels and rack handles
Rear panel power supply latches
Rear panel cable connectors
Ensure that the rack is at least 100 cm (approximately 3 feet) away from the walls.
Ensure that the clearance between any racks is at least 120 cm (approximately 4 feet) for maintenance, adequate ventilation, and effective heat dissipation. Data centers with two foot spaces in the front and in the back of the appliances are acceptable with proper cooling and ventilation.
Ensure that other equipment does not prevent air transfer between the cabinet and the room. Adequate distance is necessary for cooling of the devices.
