Appendix F: Non-Hitachi racks
All VSP Gx00 models storage systems can be installed into non-Hitachi racks.
The following describes the requirements and guidelines for installing the storage
system into a non-Hitachi rack.
Non-Hitachi rack support
The storage system supports non-Hitachi racks that meet Hitachi specications.
Observe the following mounting guidelines for non-Hitachi racks:
■
The VSP Gx00 models support any 4-post, EIA-310-D compliant rack that has
adequate airow and weight capacity.
■
PDUs must be mounted properly to avoid any issues while servicing the storage
system. The PDU receptacles must face toward the back (not toward each other). The
area behind the storage system and between the vertical 19-inch mounting posts
must be free of PDUs and cable loops.
