Determining the Order
of the Components in
the Rack
To make it easier to correctly cable the system, and for safety reasons, follow these
recommendations when installing the DXi6902 system in the rack:
• A rack is not included with the DXi6902. A standard 40U rack can be ordered from
Quantum as an optional purchase.
•
shows the recommended rack configuration for a maximum capacity
DXi6902 configuration.
• When installing components, start with the lowest Array or Expansion module in the
configuration, and then proceed upward in the rack as you add additional
components. This will prevent the rack from becoming overbalanced.
• Make sure to leave enough space in the rack for future system expansion. The
DXi6902 can be expanded to a maximum configuration requiring 32U of rack space
