Positioning The Server In The Rack; Separating The Slide Rails - Avid Technology NEXIS File Gateway Setup And User Manual

• For normal operation, maintain approximately 2 feet (0.6 meters) of open space in front of and
behind the rack. This allows free access to the components in the rack for operating changes or
adjustments. For service, maintain approximately 3 feet (1 meter) of open space in front of the
rack and 2 feet (0.6 meters) of open space behind the rack. This allows for the removal of any
component that needs to be replaced.
• Allow at least 0.5 in (1.3 cm) clearance on top of the enclosure for cover removal.

To ensure the stability of the rack enclosure, install the heaviest equipment in the lower sections
of the rack enclosure. Install lighter equipment in the middle and upper sections.
