It might be necessary to supply additional hardware, such as fasteners, for use in some
manufacturer's racks.
The system rack or cabinet must be capable of supporting an average load of 15.9 kg
(35 lb.) of product weight per EIA unit.
The system rack or cabinet must be compatible with drawer mounting rails, including a
secure and snug fit of the rail-mounting pins and screws into the rack or cabinet rail
support hole.
Note: The OEM rack must only support ac-powered drawers. We strongly recommend that
you use a power distribution unit (PDU) that meets the same specifications as the PDUs to
supply rack power. Rack or cabinet power distribution devices must meet the drawer power
requirements, as well as the requirements of any additional products that are connected to
the same power distribution device.
