Ultrastar Data102 Rack Requirements
The Ultrastar Data102 is designed to be installed into a rack that meets the EIA-310 standard at a minimum
1181-1197 mm (46.5in. - 47.13in.) of usable rack space, frame to frame. The vertical rack rails must be set
between 812.8mm - 914.4mm / 32 in. - 36 in. to support the enclosure. It requires 4U of rack space, and it
should be installed into the rack at the lowest possible U height to keep the load on the rack balanced.

Warning:
When extended out of the rack on the rail system, the Ultrastar Data102 will be
~950 mm / 37.4in. extended outward. This may be a potential tipping hazard depending on
the configuration of the rack. Ensure that leveling feet, anti-tilt, and any other safety features
recommended by the specific rack manufacturers have been deployed before servicing.
The following section provides specific information necessary to install, service, and remove the Ultrastar
Data102. The installation of the Ultrastar Data102 requires two people and a space of 1524mm / 60in. in front
of the installation space. The servicing of the enclosure requires one person and a minimum of 1219.2mm /
48in. of space in front of the installation space. The removal of the enclosure requires two people, 1371mm /
54in. of space in front of the installation space, and 24in. on either side of the enclosure for two people to
remove the enclosure.
Warning:
The handles on the front of the chassis are not intended to be used to support the
weight of the Ultrastar Data102. Lifting the unit by the chassis handles or trying to support the
unit on the handles can cause them to fail. This can cause serious damage to the unit or serious
bodily harm to those handling the unit. Always team lift the chassis by gripping the underside
of the unit, and never try to lift a chassis that is filled with drives.
