Rack specifications
When installing a DCS3700 storage system or DCS3700 storage expansion enclosure into a non-IBM rack,
follow the specifications below.
1. The rack or cabinet must meet the EIA Standard EIA-310-D for 19-inch racks published August 24,
1992. The EIA-310-D standard specifies internal dimensions, for example, the width of the rack
opening (width of the chassis), the width of the module mounting flanges, the mounting hole spacing,
and the depth of the mounting flanges. The EIA-310-D standard does not control the overall external
width of the rack. There are no restrictions on the location of side walls and corner posts relative to
the internal mounting space.
The front rack opening must be 451 mm wide + 0.75 mm (17.75 in. + 0.03 in.), and the rail-mounting
holes must be 465 mm + 0.8 mm (18.3 in. + 0.03 in.) apart on center (horizontal width between
vertical columns of holes on the two front-mounting flanges and on the two rear-mounting flanges).
