This document explains how to install CX4 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 1U, 2U, 3U and 4U components, and filler panels that cover empty
cabinet spaces. In most cases, the illustrations and examples refer to
®
EMC
standard cabinets, which are 40U tall.
Topics are:
Device placement requirements ......................................................... 2
Power requirements ............................................................................. 4
Device height requirements ................................................................ 4
Installing front filler panels............................................................... 57
Note: Since EMC uses easily adjustable universal rails to mount these items in a
NEMA-standard cabinet, the instructions in this guide apply to non-EMC
cabinets as well.
Instructions for adding switches to an EMC storage system are included in the
device-specific documentation that accompanies the switch.

  • Page 2: Device Placement Requirements

    Before attaching the mounting rails or trays in any cabinet, you must decide where to put them. Where you install the devices depends on the kinds of devices you will install and the height of each device. EMC Rails and Enclosures (CX4 Series Storage Systems) Field Installation Guide...
