behind the chassis and 5.08 centimeters (2 inches) of clearance on either side of the chassis.

minimum weight of approximately 32.4 kilograms (71 pounds) per fully loaded chassis plus the
weight of the connected network cables. The weight includes the chassis, fan tray, two power
supplies, and three modules.
•
For access to the rear of the chassis to maintain, remove, or replace the fan tray, allow an area of
48.26 centimeters (19 inches) wide by 61 centimeters (24 inches) deep.
•
If installing the N3 chassis in an equipment rack, ensure that the rack can support and remain
stable with the chassis installed.
