The rack rails that are provided for the appliance are extensible to 31.5" (800mm).
The part number of these rails is AXXPRAIL. This distance is the maximum
depth that is allowed between rack posts. If the distance between rack posts is
longer than 31.5" (800mm) the rails and the appliance cannot be properly
installed. Other rails may have different lengths. The width of the appliance is
19" (482.6mm).
The rack rails that are provided for the Symantec Storage Shelf are extensible
to 36" (914mm). This distance is the maximum depth that is allowed between

storage shelves should be installed at the bottom of the rack, below the
appliance.

The appliance height is 2U and the storage shelf height is 3U. Guide pins on

the rack holes. The blue pin indicates the bottom of the rail.
