Verifying Rack Dimensions

Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your
equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in
Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails.
Step 1
The distance should measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).
Note
Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the
Step 2

The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis which is
17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.
