Racks

The rack provides the capability for mounting standard 483 mm (19 in) wide controller and drive
enclosures. For additional information, see "Racks" on page 92.
The following racks are available for the EVA8000/8100:
• 36U Rack
• 42U Rack
NOTE:
• Although the 22U, 25U, 33U, and 41U rack configurations are no longer available, existing
storage systems in these racks are still supported.
• Racks and rack-mountable components are typically described using "U" measurements. "U"
measurements are used to designate panel or enclosure heights.
The racks provide the following:
• Unique frame and rail design — Allows fast assembly, easy mounting, and outstanding structural
integrity.
• Thermal integrity — Front-to-back natural convection cooling is greatly enhanced by the innovative
multi-angled design of the front door.
• Security provisions — The front and rear door are lockable, which prevents unauthorized entry.
• Flexibility — Provides easy access to hardware components for operation monitoring.
• Custom expandability — Several options allow for quick and easy expansion of the racks to create
a custom solution.
