Rack Compatibility
Nearly all standard four-post 19” server racks meeting EIA-310 specifications are
compatible with the DXi6700 rack mount kits. Rack cabinets meeting EIA-310
specifications have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit with center-to-
center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1-U space) of 15.9 mm, 15.9 mm,
and 12.7 mm (0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back vertical rails.
For detailed information, refer to the
DXi6700 Installation and Configuration Guide
(6-
67201) or the
DXi6700 Installation and Configuration Guide
(6-67196).
Note:
The rack mounting rails extend to support rack depths from 26.5 to 36.4 inches
(67.3 to 92.4 cm).
When planning your rack installation, be sure to consider leaving room in the rack for
future system expansion. You can expand the storage capacity of the DXi6700 by adding
up to nine expansion modules. Also be sure to leave adequate room behind the rack to
open the rear rack door.
See
Physical Characteristics
on page 16 for node and expansion module rack space
requirements.
