Sun Fire V445 Server Installation Guide • November 2006
4-Post Cabinet Requirements
The server is designed so that you can install it into a 72-inch (184-cm) tall Sun
StorEdge
TM
Expansion Cabinet or other EIA-compliant industry-standard cabinet
that meets the requirements listed in the following table. You need a Sun
rackmounting kit for each server that you rackmount.
Note –
The server is fully serviceable in a 4-post cabinet when it is extended on its
slide assemblies.

TABLE A-5
4-Post Cabinet Requirements
Cabinet Feature
Requirement
Load-bearing capacity
The rack must firmly support the weight of as many Sun
Fire V445 servers installed in the cabinet (each server
weighs up to 82 lb/37.2 kg), plus the weight of the
rackmounting hardware, and the weight of any other
installed devices.
Vertical space requirements
Each server requires four rack units (7.0 inch/17.78 cm)
of vertical space for rack installation. A 72-inch (184-cm)
Sun cabinet ships with a power sequencer so it can
nominally
hold up to eight servers (with a power
sequencer there are 36 rack units of usable space).
However, because of electrical power issues, the actual
maximum of systems per rack is six.
Doors and panels
If you are using a Sun StorEdge Expansion Cabinet, you can
remove the front and back doors and the side panels to
increase access to the server. Otherwise, see the instructions
provided with the cabinet.
