Cabinet Requirements
The server can be installed into a 19-inch (48.3-cm) wide EIA-compliant cabinet that
meets the requirements listed in the table below. You need one Sun Fire 880 server
rackmounting kit for each Sun Fire 880 server that you will install into a cabinet.

Load Bearing Capacity The cabinet must firmly support the weight of a Sun Fire 880
server and the mounting hardware (up to 350 lb, 158.8 kg,
depending on the server configuration), plus the weight of any
other installed devices.
Anti-Tilt Protection The cabinet must be bolted securely to the floor or equipped with
a sturdy and extendable anti-tip leg. You must prevent the cabinet
from moving or tilting forward when one or more systems or
devices are fully extended from the front of the cabinet.

available in back of the cabinet for server installation and
service access.
