Mechanical Recommendations for the Rack
Use equipment racks that meet the following mechanical
recommendations:
- Use an open style, 19-inch rack to facilitate easy maintenance and to provide
proper ventilation.
- Use a rack made of steel or aluminum.
- The rack should use the universal mounting rail hole pattern that is
identified in IEC Standard 297.
- The rack should have designated earth grounding connections (typically on
the base).
- The rack must meet earthquake safety requirements equal to that of the installed
chassis.
- The mounting holes should be flush with the rails to accommodate the
chassis.
- The rack should support approximately 270 kg (600 lb).
