This document explains how to install CX3-series hardware in cabinets
that conform to the National Electrical Manufacturer's Association
(NEMA) standards for 19-inch cabinets (in which the left and right
mounting channels are 19 inches apart). It covers mounting hardware
for SPS, SPE3, and DAE3P components, and describes how to cable the
system to AC power and set up the back-end (disk I/O) bus. In most
cases, the illustrations and examples refer to standard cabinets that are
40U tall.
