Third-party racks
All VSP G series storage systems can be installed into third-party racks.
The following describes the requirements and guidelines for installing the storage
system into a third-party rack.
Third-party rack support
The storage system supports third-party racks that meet Hitachi Vantara specifications.
Observe the following mounting guidelines for third-party racks:
■
The VSP Gx00 models support any 4-post, EIA-310-D compliant rack that has
adequate airflow and weight capacity.
■
PDUs must be mounted properly, with no serviceability issues. The PDU receptacles
must face toward the back (not toward each other). The area behind the storage
system and between the vertical 19-inch mounting posts must be free of PDUs and
cable loops.
