Rack options

The x3690 X5 is a 2U-high device (1U is one rack unit and is 1.75 inches). The MAX5 memory expansion

unit is an additional 1U high unit. Both are designed to be installed in standard 19-inch racks. Three slide

kits are available for use with the x3690 X5, as listed in the following table. Cable management arms are

optional but useful because they help prevent cables from becoming tangled and causing server

downtime. Available cable management arms are also listed.
