If you are selecting an enclosed cabinet, we recommend one of the thermally validated types, either standard
perforated or solid-walled with a fan tray.
We do not recommend that you use racks that have obstructions (such as power strips), because the obstructions
could impair access to field-replaceable units (FRUs).
