Installation guidelines
ATTENTION
To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the air intake (nonport side) facing the cool-air aisle.
Follow these general installation guidelines:
• Provide a space that is 8 rack units (8U) high, 61.19 cm (24.09 in.) deep, and 43.74 cm (17.22 in.) wide. 1U is
equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in.).
• To allow the quick removal of all power from the chassis, use AC power sources that are easily accessible and
located near the chassis.
• Verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the weight limits of the cabinet.
