3. Decide which side of the rack you want the data connectors.
You will most likely need extra room for cable bending on the connector side of the chassis
and should plan to keep the spine side as close to the rack door as possible, thus having more
room for the cables.
4. Measure the distance between the vertical supports and adjust the shelf brackets
according to this distance. This chassis can be installed in a rack with a distance
between the vertical supports of from 65cm(25.6in.) to 80cm(31.5in.).
