HPE Infrastructure Rack front doors
All HPE G2 Rack models ship with front doors. The 600mm wide 36U, 42U, and 48U front doors (and necessary hardware) are backwards
compatible with the G1 Series Racks of the same width and height; this enables customers to have all 600mm wide racks standardized with the
same updated look, if desired.
HPE Infrastructure Rack rear doors
All HPE G2 Rack models ship with rear doors as part of the standard configuration. The Infrastructure Rack rear door has been upgraded to
provide additional open space for exhaust air.
HPE Side Panel Option Kit
Side panels aid in providing proper front-to-rear airflow and a first level of security. Side Panel Option Kits are available for all rack models.
Rack options installation instructions can be found in the HPE Rack Options Installation Guide at:

Note
All G2 Advanced Series Racks ship with side panels; however, side panels are also available as option kits.
Stabilization requirements
Rack stability is of special concern when equipment is routinely installed, removed, or accessed within the rack. Stability is addressed with a
combination of leveling feet, baying kits, fixed stabilizers, and ballast.
Leveling feet
Leveling feet ship installed in each rack. It allows stabilization and levels the racks at the installation site. HPE Infrastructure Rack hardware kits
also include leveling pads that are used with the feet during rack stabilization.
HPE Baying Kit
Baying kits are used to physically connect adjacent racks to create a row of two or more units. Racks that are bayed together with a baying kit are
more stable and reduce the potential of the rack to tip. G2 Advanced Series Racks ship with baying kits that allow for baying with side panels
