Refer to the equipment or system documentation for the specific
instructions on installing and servicing the equipment into the
rack. Most equipment include a Rack Alignment
Template, which provides specific rackmounting instructions.
For additional instructions, refer to the product installation guide
or rackmounting guide.
Select the appropriate rack for the equipment you plan to
install. For large equipment, or equipment that requires a large
amount of space for cabling, select the deeper Sun Rack II 1242.
Ensure that your installation adequately protects equipment
from excessive vibration and shock. Do not attach external devices
or machinery to the rack that create excessive vibration. The vibration
can damage sensitive equipment installed inside the rack.
Note - Equipment weighing 36.2 Kg (80 lb) or more must be installed
within the bottom 10 U (445 mm/17.5 in.) of the rack.
Note - Ensure that installed equipment or cables do not impede
the air flow through the rack.
Note - Never exceed the maximum allowable weight of installed
equipment in the rack.
