  • Page 23: Determining The Rack Location

    ■ Determining the rack location The height of the Veritas Velocity 7330 Appliance compute node and storage shelf each require a different number of rack unit (RU) spaces. The compute node requires 2 RU and the storage shelf requires 4 RU. To help you identify RU spacing, many rack manufacturers typically use a system of lines and sequential numbers starting at the bottom of the rack.
  • Page 24 Preinstallation requirements Determining the rack location Use the following best practices when determining the rack location for the appliance: Be sure to use complete RUs for the appliance. Do not use holes that span ■ different RUs when you install the rails. The storage shelves are much heavier than the compute node and should be ■...
