Note: 2U of space is reserved above the PDUs for cable routing. The number
and type of PDUs depends on the power supply. If more PDUs are needed, or
when you need to add additional components into the rack (such as adding
another Slammer), then everything has to move up to make room, keeping
the 2U of reserved space, and moving any Bricks displaced at the top to the next
rack.
Note: In a system that is configured for the maximum number of Bricks, connect
the additional racks to the first rack before you install and cable the hardware
components.
