Caution – Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive components. Touching the

array or its components without using a proper ground might damage the

equipment. To avoid damage, use proper antistatic protection before handling any

components.

Standard Cabinets, Racks, and Rail Kits

Although the system is installed in a single cabinet or rack, the server and the back-

end storage units require different rail kits.

Rack requirements to support installation are:

Rack horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch conforming to ANSI/EIA 310-D-

■

1992 or IEC 60927

Four-post structure (mounting at both front and back)

■

Distance between front and back mounting planes between 610 mm and 915 mm

■

(24 to 36 inches)

Clearance depth (to front cabinet door) in front of front rackmounting plane at

■

least 25.4 mm (1 inch)

Clearance depth (to back cabinet door) behind front rackmounting plane at least

■

800 mm (31.5 inches), or 700 mm (27.5 inches) without cable management arm

Clearance width (between structural supports, cable troughs, and the like)

■

between front and back mounting planes at least 456 mm (18 inches)

Note – Not all third-party racks meet these parameters and are compatible with

these slide rail kits. Also, some third-party rack vendors do not support a completely

filled rack with this type of server, due to the amount of power required.

Server rack density varies widely based on systems installed, power distribution

installation (in-cabinet, external), power source (single-phase, three-phase), and

whether redundant power is required.
