Keep the following in mind when selecting a rack: Make sure that the distance between the mounting surfaces on the front and rear posts is between 27 inches (68.6 cm) and 36 inches (91 cm). Note: If you are using the adaptors to install the rack‐mount kit in a rack with circular mounting cutouts, the distance between the front and rear posts must be at least 28.5 inches (72.4 cm), and not more than 37.5 inches (95.25 cm). Allow approximately 3 inches (8 cm) of additional depth at the back of the rack for cable clearance. If the rack has a door, allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) clearance between the front door frame and the front mounting posts of the rack to allow the door to close over the BlackPearl front bezel. Check your rack’s specifications to make sure it will accommodate the weight and depth of the BlackPearl chassis. The use of a two‐post rack is not supported. Notes: An enclosed 19‐inch, four‐post rack is available for purchase from Spectra Logic. The rack has two doors and removable side panels. Contact Spectra Logic Sales for more information (see Contacting Spectra Logic on page 3). In earthquake prone areas, provide restraints as necessary.
