Rack Requirements
The rack must meet the following requirements:
Use an industry-standard (for example, CEA-310-E), four-post, 19 inch (48.3 cm) rack.
The rack must be rated for 540 kg (1200 pounds) static load or greater.
The minimum rack depth is 101.6 cm (40 inches) from the front of the rack to the rear of the rack.
The distance between the outside of the front and rear rack posts (the mounting surfaces) must be
58.2cm to 79.4cm for square hole racks; 57.5cm to 78.6cm for round hole (unthreaded) racks; or
60.5cm to 81.7cm for threaded hole racks.
Secure the rack to the floor for added stability.
Load a rack with arrays from the bottom to the top.
Install a maximum of six arrays in a rack, for ease of access to the disk drives. In a PS6500, drives are
inserted from the top.
There must be at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) between the rack door and the front of the array to
accommodate the array front bezel.
There must be at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) between the rear of the array and the rear of the rack to
accommodate the cable management system.
The rack (with installed arrays) must meet the safety requirements of UL 60950-1 and IEC 60950-1.
