Rack Space Requirements

Oracle Server X8-8 is a five rack unit (5U) server. For physical dimensions, see Server Physical Specifications.

You can install the server into a four-post rack cabinet that conforms to ANSI/EIA 310-D-1992 or IEC 60279 standards, such as Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242. See Rack Compatibility.

The minimum ceiling height for the cabinet is 230 cm (90 inches), measured from the true floor or raised floor, whichever is higher. An additional 91.4 cm (36 inches) of ceiling height is required for top clearance. The space above the cabinet and its surroundings must not restrict the movement of cool air between the air conditioner and the cabinet, or the movement of hot air coming out of the top of the cabinet.
