Customer-Supplied Rack
This section lists the physical specifications and requirements for installing
the Universal Storage Platform VM in a customer-supplied rack.
Rack Dimensions
• Height: 1900–2000 mm
• Width: 600–610 mm
• Depth: Minimum of 1000 mm
Minimum U Height
The minimum height is 36U.
While your initial system configuration may not require 36U, this amount of
space is required for a full configuration. Initially allocating this amount of
space minimizes the time required to reposition equipment in the future.
Rail Kits

be made as large as possible. Actual clearances for installation should be
determined after consulting with the site/facilities manager, as the
clearances can vary, depending on building conditions.
