Third-party rack support for VSP Gx00 models
The VSP Gx00 models support third-party racks that meet Hitachi Data
Systems specifications.
Observe the following mounting guidelines for third-party racks:
• The VSP Gx00 models support any 4-post, EIA-310-D compliant rack that
has adequate airflow and weight capacity.
• PDUs must be mounted properly, with no serviceability issues. 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.
