Size and weight requirements
The RackCenter Type 7825 is an Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard rack
cabinet. See Table 1 and Table 2 for the dimensions and weights of the rack
cabinet.
Note: The dimensions and weights shown are for the primary rack cabinet.
Minimum service clearances for iDataPlex racks
A rack cabinet requires a minimal service and operational clearance in the front and
back to ensure proper ventilation and access to open the front and rear doors. An
extended service clearance provides easier access to the rack cabinet so that you
can install and service optional devices.
