The heaviest equipment should be installed at the bottom of a rack. The heavy
devices that are installed at the top of a rack make the rack "top-heavy", or unstable.
Unstable racks jeopardize staff and equipment safety and are subject to risk.
When you install more than one device per rack, do the following:
Find out how much each device weighs.
■
Note: A storage device is heavier than an appliance and must always be installed
under the appliance.
Determine device order and cabling limits.
■
Be aware of the depth of the guide rails and the devices. Ensure that the distance
■
between cabinet posts accommodates the rails and devices.
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
rack posts. If the distance between rack posts is longer than 36" (914mm)
