2 Server Site Preparation
This chapter describes the basic server configuration and its physical specifications and
requirements.
Dimensions and Weights
This section provides dimensions and weights of the system components. Table 2-1 gives the
dimensions and weights for a fully configured server.

1 This weight represents a fully configured server before it is installed in a rack.
2 The packaged weight represents a server installed in a 2-m rack. The packaged weight includes a fully configured
server in a 2-m rack with a rear door, rail slide kit, line cord anchor kit, interlock assembly, cable management arm,
120-lb ballast kit, and a 60-A PDU. The shipping box, pallet, and container, not included in the packaged weight in
Table 2-1, adds approximately 150.0-lb to the total system weight when shipped. The size and number of miscellaneous
pallets will be determined by the equipment ordered by the customer.
Table 2-2 provides component weights for calculating the weight of a server not fully configured.
Table 2-3 provides an example of how to calculate the weight. Table 2-4 is a blank worksheet for
calculating the weight of the server. To determine the overall weight, follow the example in
Table 2-3, and complete the worksheet in Table 2-4 for your system.
