Table 23: Rack Requirements and Specifications
Guidelines Rack Requirement
You can mount the device on a rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced
at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments and meets the size and strength requirements to
support the weight.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association
(
http://www.eia.org ).
Rack type
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm), so that the
device can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance. Mounting bracket hole spacing
• Ensure that the rack complies with the size and strength standards of a 19-in. rack as
defined in
Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number
EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association (
http://www.eia.org
).
• Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the external
dimensions of the device chassis. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets
extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm).
• The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the device.
• Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks provides for proper clearance
around the device and rack.
Rack size and strength
• Secure the rack to the building structure.
• If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
• Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum
stability.
