Cabinet Depth
Equipment racks come in a variety of depths from 800mm to slightly over 1000mm.
The depth of the equipment to be installed must be considered to ensure adequate
room in the back for cable management, as well as clearance in the front for proper
air flow. See
FIGURE 2-1
.
When installing equipment into an 800mm cabinet, ensure that there is sufficient
room for cable management and that cables or other parts do not extend out the
back of the cabinet and prevent the door from closing properly.
There must be a minimum of 51mm (2.0") of free space between the front mounting
flange and the inside of the cabinet door. This space is required for clearance of the
equipment and to ensure the door does not prevent proper air flow to the
equipment.
