Rack Installation Specifications

This chapter provides the installation specification of the ETERNUS AX/HX.

Rack Installation Requirements

This section explains the requirements for installing the ETERNUS AX/HX in a 19-inch rack.

Placement in the Rack

Note the following when installing the ETERNUS AX/HX in the rack.
• Secure a space of 1U at the bottom of a rack.
• The space from 2U to 7U is dedicated to PDUs. Since the height of a PDU is 2U, a maximum of three PDUs can
be installed.
• Install the controller shelf in 8U.
• Drive shelves must be installed in a higher position than the controller shelf.
• If size of the drive shelves is mixture of 2U and 4U, the 4U shelves must be installed below the 2U shelves.
• The center of gravity must be taken into consideration to prevent a rack from toppling over. Shelves should
generally be installed from bottom to top to lower the center of gravity and to ensure the safe use of racks.
• Shelves are installed in the following order (from bottom to top).
