■
The rack rails that are provided for the Symantec Storage Shelf are extensible
to 36” (914mm). This distance is the maximum depth that is allowed between
rack posts. If the distance between rack posts is longer than 36” (914mm) the
rails and the appliance cannot be properly installed. The width of the storage
shelf is 19” (482.6mm).
■
Ensure that the rack is at least 100 cm (approximately 3 feet) away from the
walls.
■
Ensure that the clearance between any racks is at least 120 cm (approximately
4 feet) for maintenance, adequate ventilation, and effective heat dissipation.
■
Ensure that other equipment does not prevent air transfer between the cabinet
and the room. Adequate distance is necessary for cooling of the devices.
