Note that if chassis depth (L) is less than 40.64 cm (16 in.), the chassis will not fit into a rack with a
maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) using the universal four-post rack kit. The maximum rack depth for
a chassis less than 40.64 cm (16 in.) is 81.28 cm (32 in.) minus the difference between the chassis depth
and 40.64 cm (16 in.). For example, a chassis with a depth (L) of 35.56 cm (14 in.) is 5.08 cm (2 in.)
smaller than 40.64 cm (16 in.), so it will install into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) -
5.08 cm (2 in.) = 76.2 cm (30 in.).
