Rack Compatibility

Rack Compatibility
The SPARC T7-4 server, and the associated rackmounting hardware kit, are compatible with
Oracle's Sun Rack II 1242 racks only. The server has not been tested in non-Oracle racks.
Note -
deep racks do not provide enough space to service components, or to route and secure the server
power cords and data cables safely with the CMA installed.
If you are installing the server in a non-Oracle rack, ensure that the non-Oracle rack meets the
server installation requirements, which include (but are not limited to) the following:
The server must be placed on a rack shelf in the non-Oracle rack.

The rack shelf must be capable of supporting a minimum weight of 200 lbs (91 kg).
■
The rack shelf must be designed for the rack being used.
■
Obtain the rack shelf from the rack vendor.
