Determining the location
You might need to determine where to install an expansion unit in the rack. Follow this procedure to
perform this task either with or without the aid of a rack-mounting template.
Before installing the system unit into a rack, complete the following steps:
1. Read the "Rack safety notices" on page 106.
2. Plan where you will place the units. Place the larger and heavier units in the lower part of the rack.
Note: The 5886 expansion unit is two Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) units high. An EIA unit is
1.75 in. (44.50 mm) in height. The rack contains three mounting holes for each EIA unit of height. This
system unit therefore is 3.5 in. (89 mm) high and covers 6 mounting holes in the rack.
3. If necessary, remove the filler panels to allow access to the inside of the rack enclosure where you
plan to place the unit.
