- 19-inch EIA rails
- Minimum rail depth of 700 mm
- Maximum rail depth of 780 mm
v Does the rack in which you are installing the DS8882F model 983 have adequate
space to accommodate the components? The rack must have 16U contiguous
space to mount the eight 2U modules.
Note: The standard 19-inch wide rack installation (feature code 0939) supports
an optional 1U keyboard and display (feature code 1765). The 16U contiguous
space requirement does not include space for the optional keyboard and display,
but they are not required to reside contiguously with the DS8882F model 983.
However, if you add the keyboard and display, ensure that you provide
adequate space to accommodate them.
