Component Installation Recommendations
To make it easier to correctly cable the system, and for safety reasons, follow these recommendations
when installing the DXi4700 system in the rack:
l When installing components, start with the lowest Expansion module in the configuration, and then
proceed upward in the rack as you add additional components (see Figure 30 below).
l Make sure to leave enough space below the lowest installed component for future system expansion.
The DXi4700 can be expanded to a maximum configuration requiring 8U of rack space (see Table 1
on page 2).
