Installing the DXi6700 System
Installing the DXi6700 in a rack consists of the following steps:
1
Locating the Mounting Position
2
3
Installing the DXi6700 Expansion Module
4
Locating the Mounting
Position
The DXi6700 systems is designed to fit in a standard 19 inch wide rack. It is important
for the chassis installation to locate the hole pattern in the rack rails. You must allow 3U
(5.2 in. / 13.2 cm) of vertical space for the DXi6700 node and 2U (3.5in. / 8.9 cm) of
vertical space for each expansion module installed in the rack. Rack cabinets that meet
EIA-310 standards have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit with center-
to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1U space) of 15.9 mm, 15.9 mm,
and 12.7 mm (0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back vertical rails
(see
for the DXi6700 node and
for the expansion module). Rack
cabinets may have round or square holes. For more information, refer to the
DXi6700
Site Planning Guide
(PN 6-67200), which is available on the Documentation CD.
