Verifying Rack Suitability
There are some critical requirements that you must meet when choosing a rack and before
mounting the device into it.

Choosing the Type of Rack
There are many types of racks on the market. The installation instructions in this guide are
intended for a 19” rack.
•
Verify that the 19” rack meets the EIA-310 standards. This standard includes precise
definitions of the shape of the holes, their size, the depth of the rack and other features.
For more information on the EIA-310 standard, see
http://electronics.ihs.com/collections/eia/index.htm
•
Notice that the vertical square holes on the rack posts are not spaced equally. They form
a repeating pattern of two holes close together, then one hole separate, then two holes
close together and so on. See
Figure 3-2
Hole distribution on 19” rack
Making Space for the SCOPIA TIP Gateway
When checking for an empty space to setup the device, be aware of its physical dimensions.
•
Install the device in an open rack whenever possible. If installation in an enclosed rack is
unavoidable, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation.
