Stacking Components
Keep in mind the following considerations while stacking components in a
rack:
■
Put the UPSs in the bottom of the rack.
■
Assemble other components into the rack from the bottom up.
■
Put the heaviest equipment per U of height in the bottom of the rack
whenever possible.
■
Install non-flat-panel monitors toward the top of the rack.
■
Install components that require better cooling capacity toward the top of
the rack.
■
Purchase the rack stabilizer feet option when offered.
The typical stacking order has the UPSs at the bottom and progresses upward
according to the following list:
■
UPS
■
Storage subsystems
■
Node 1 and node 2
■
Keyboard/mouse/monitor switch
■
Monitor and expansion nodes
CAUTION:
Load the racks from the bottom up to avoid tipping the rack.
