Storage shelf rack requirements
For best ventilation, the rack cabinet:
Should be at least 100 cm (4 feet) from walls.
Should have at least 100 cm (4 feet) from other cabinets on the front and back of the appliance and the storage shelves.
Data centers with two-foot spaces in the front and in the back of the appliances are acceptable with proper cooling and ventilation
There must be a minimum depth of 76 cm (30 in.) between the front of the rack and the rear of the rack.
The compute node rails are extensible to 820mm (32in). The minimum distance or depth allowed between the rack posts is 623mm (24.6"). The maximum distance or depth allowed between the rack posts is 942mm (37").
Storage shelves should be installed lower in the rack than the appliance.
The following list describes the necessary personnel and equipment that customers must supply at the installation site:
At least two people or a mechanical lift to move the appliance and the storage shelves.
Two people to install the rails; one person at the back of the rack and one at the front
Two people to lift and place the storage shelf into the mounted rails
Cables to connect the appliance to your corporate network.
A USB-keyboard and a monitor to connect to the appliance.
A 19-inch rack with dual Power Distribution Units (PDUs) with 220VAC power supplies.
