SG-9500 Hardware Guide
SG-9500 shipping containers are designed to protect contents under normal
shipping conditions. Nevertheless, inspect each carton carefully for signs of damage
that may have occurred during transportation. If the container is damaged,
document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier
immediately.
NOTE The Installation warranty is effective from the time the shipment is received
until the installation is complete.
Check all equipment and accessories against the shipping manifest. If any parts or
accessories are missing or defective contact the representative for replacement.

Mounting the SG-9500
Space and Airflow Requirements
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow
requirements when deciding where to install a rack:
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack
to the back of another rack or row of racks.
The SG-9500 draws in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the
rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to
allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately
ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps
between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the
servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.
