SuperRack User's Manual
Figure 5-3: Sliding Rails
The SuperRack system also uses standard slide rails that can be attached to rack
components for mounting on the rack EIA posts. Figure 5-3 below shows various
sizes of slide rails that can be mounted on the EIA posts in the SuperRack.
Component Installation
Various network and server components can be mounted in your SuperRack system.
They may be mounted on shelves if under 3U in height, or directly on the rack's EIA
posts using sliding rails or brackets. See the user's manual for your rack components
for instructions on mounting rails onto their chassis.
Fan Modules
The SuperRack system comes with several different fan modules for mounting in
both the roof as top panels and on specially ventilated doors. The door modules are
between 3U and 14U in size and require only four screws each to install on special
doors. See the "Top and Side Panels" section for details on top panel over fans.
Cable Management Troughs and Fiber Optic Pipes
Different types of cable management troughs and fi ber optic pipes are available for
mounting on the rear or sides of the SuperRack sytem (Figure 5-4). This allows you
to easily manage the cables of your SuperRack's contents.
