1.3.1 Space Requirements for Racks up to Oracle Exadata X6

All racks up to Oracle Exadata X6-2 and X6-8 use the same hardware rack, and have the same space requirements.

The space requirements are as follows:

  • Height: 1998 mm (78.66 inches)
  • Width: 600 mm with side panels (23.62 inches)
  • Depth: 1200 mm (47.24 inches)

The minimum ceiling height for the cabinet is 2912 mm (114.65 inches), measured from the true floor or raised floor, whichever is higher. This includes an additional 914 mm (36 inches) of space required above the rack height for maintenance access, as described in Table 1-24. The space surrounding the cabinet must not restrict the movement of cool air between the air conditioner and the front of the systems within the cabinet, or the movement of hot air coming out of the rear of the cabinet.
