Verifying Rack Dimensions
Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your
equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in the following image.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails. The distance should
measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).
2. Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the
equipment rack. The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis, which is
17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails. The distance should measure
18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).
Note Measure for pairs of holes near the bottom, middle, and top of the equipment rack to ensure that the rack posts
are parallel.
Step 2 Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the equipment rack. The
space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis, which is 17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits
between the mounting posts on the rack.
