Before installing the DS5100 and DS5300 in a rack cabinet, you must install the
rails and rack-mounting hardware that come with your storage subsystem. The
DS5100 and DS5300 requires an Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 310-D
Type A 19-inch rack cabinet.
The distance between EIA rails, from the front to the rear of the rack cabinet, is
60.96 cm (24 in.) minimum and 81.28 cm (32 in.) maximum. This rack cabinet
conforms to the EIA standard. Where you place the support rails in the rack cabinet
depends on where you intend to position the storage subsystem.
Note: If you are using a non-IBM rack or cabinet, review the information in
Appendix D, “Specifications for non-IBM rack installation,” on page 229.
