Re-racking Considerations Yes No N/A Comment

Has the customer purchased the Oracle Re-racking Service?

Is there a cart capable of carrying the weight of the servers to move the components and associated cabling from the supplied rack to the customer supplied rack?

Is the target rack empty?

Do the target rack dimensions meet the following requirements?

  • Height: 42 RU

  • Width: 600 mm (23.62 inches)

  • Depth: 1112 mm (43.78 inches) without front and rear doors

If the rack is less than 42 RU, then the customer must provide compatible PDUs to install in the target rack.

Is the distance between the front and rear mounting planes between the minimum of 610 mm and the maximum 915 mm (24 inches to 36 inches)?

Is the clearance depth in the front of the front mounting plane (distance to the front cabinet door) at least 25.4 mm (1 inch)?

Does the target rack meet the following minimum load capacity?

  • 19 kg (41.89 lb) / RU

Is the rack a four-post rack (mounting at both front and rear)?

Note: Two-post racks are not compatible.

Does the target rack's horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch conform to ANSI/EIA 310-D-1992 or IEC 60297 standards?

Does the target rack have RETMA rail support?

Note: Oracle Engineered System racks require 19 inches (483 mm) for RETMA rail spacing width. The minimum rack width of 600 mm (23.63 inches) is recommended to accommodate the PDU and cable harnesses on the side. If the rack is less than 600 mm wide, then it must have additional depth to accommodate mounting behind the server CMAs.

Does the target rack support Oracle cable management arms (CMAs)?

Does the target rack support installation of Oracle vented and solid filler panels?

Can the target rack provide tie-downs along the left rear side of the rack to support the RDMA Network Fabric cables? The side is left rear side when viewed from the front of the rack.

Can the target rack provide tie-downs for the Ethernet wiring harness?

Is there sufficient space for the cable harnesses and the PDUs in the target rack?

Can a label with the Oracle Engineered System Rack serial number be printed and attached to the target rack?
