Overview
As computer systems have evolved in size and complexity, managing them has
become a critical concern. By centralizing your equipment in a HP 10000 Series rack,
the efficiency and accessibility of your system can be increased dramatically.
The 10000 Series racks are designed to house rack-mountable products on industry-
standard 19-inch (48.26-cm) wide rails. Using rack-mountable products allows you to
decrease the footprint required to house your existing hardware while still providing
expansion capability.
Racks and rack-mountable components are typically described using
U measurements. For example, one U is 44.45 mm (1.75 inches) high.
HP 10842 Rack
The HP 10842 rack is a 800 x 1000 mm 42U rack that arrives in a server/storage
configuration with internal mounting rails that are front justified, allowing the
customer room in the rear of the rack for cable routing.
The 10842 rack offers the following features:
•
Perforated front door, solid side panels (optional), and split rear perforated doors
•
Cable access panel that allows routing and cable management
